FUTURE

Humans vs space

Space vs objects

We take up space

Are we objects?

Objects as humans living in space

Transcended into time

Time is always there

In the

Past

Present

Future

There's always time

It plays a role in every aspect of our lives

Time is fragile

Human existence is fragile

Yet we abuse our planet

And we abuse ourselves

Why are we so fragile

Maybe because we are always being

Watched

Recorded

Listened to

No privacy

No hiding things

The future is so near

We treat it like we aren't living in it

But we are the future

PRESENT

we take for granted

always stuck in the past

or envisioning in the future

but in this present moment

we need to realize

this is the oldest i've ever been

and the youngest i'll ever be

take time to breathe

live in the moment

be grounded

look at your reflection

live in your body

be present in yourself

PAST

I have always thought about time in

extensive ways.

What is time? Who created time? Is time real or fake? Is our conception of

time wrong? Is time an illusion? The reading then spoke on how time has evolved, over time.

We give our lives meaning, otherwise they would be meaningless. What is the myth versus

reality? Is culture invented? Religion was invented to answer all these questions, but I’m not

religious so it makes no sense to me, there's no excuse to wrap my brain around. Time is a

cluster of actions that helps us figure out the beginning and end of things. Memories are weak

and memories fade and change over time, if you think and convince yourself that something

happened, you will truly believe it. We live by borrowed ideas, we copy everyone around us.

Time is natural to change yet there is so much power held to a clock. Time is art, sunrise to

sunset. Ticking of the clock is time and art. We use art to cope with time. Everything is art if you

say it is. Experiences occupy memory. There is no difference between life and art. Art is in time

through memory and location. Art is so time-based from date paintings to taking time making art.

Aging is art and aging is time, aging is beautiful yet there is so much stigma around asking a

woman who looks over 30 their age. Time is money, money is time. We control time, yet it

controls us. Years to months to weeks to days to hours to minutes to seconds, all consume us.

Time is precious, there are deadlines, but what happens if we break the deadline? Is there no

other chance, is it over? It used to be silent, before technology advanced and there were

machines but now there is always sound. You can never not hear anything. Music is the

organization of sound in a timely manner, with time speeds. We now live in a fast-paced era

because of technology and we live in a fast-food society we always want everything now now

now there's no patience anymore because time is speeding up and it feels like we are running

out of time, but time is endless and inevitable so why does it feel like that?
