Time flies

I was just thinking about how fast time flies. Again, the quote by Gretchen Rubin about how "the days are long but the years are short".

I can clearly remember this and it seems like it was yesterday.

 I don't remember this at all but supposedly this ugly baby was me.

I literally feel like I could be back in college at any time. I miss it. My junior year was the best year in college. And I wish I could go back in time and tell myself that I was not fat. I used to think I was HUGE.

And I remember this moment (graduation from college) like it was yesterday as well.

I remember when my parents were just starting to raise us and get us on the bus:

 And within a few years they will be grandparents and I will be doing that??? 

 I clearly remember this day

and this one

so how is it possible that I also remember this one 

 yet they each seem to have happened at the same time?



How is it possible that life passes by so quickly? I should be grateful that life has been enjoyable enough to pass by fast but damn! Too quick! Within 10 years of me right now I will have been in college (age 19) and have kids (age 39). That's quite an arc. And it will pass by wicked fast and someday soon I will be sending the kids to college. All in the blink of an eye.

In my mind, my life of a Fuchs will always be this picture and I remember taking it clearly:

So I will do all I can to slow down life by recording it through video and film because that's the only way to slow it down. I feel like I have done a really good job with Scott and my live together - I document everything. Probably to an excessive degree. But I so much look back and wish I had more pictures and videos of my past. I've always been fairly nostalgic and I don't imagine that will change as I get older. I just cant believe that shortly I will be in my forties (only 11 years? what???) when I still feel mentally like I am in my early 20s. Crazy. Life is crazy.
