When the time is slowing down

Posted on by Anna Maria Boland

Yesterday I wrote on my Instagram that we’ve entered the last week of staying in Germany, in our temporary home. I was hoping that I will blink and we’ll be on the other side of this. The time seems to slow down, the days feel like they’re made of syrup. Is it always like that when we can’t wait for something to happen?

Our last week here starts today. Next Wednesday we’ll pack the kitties and move into our new house. I can’t wait. I’m so ready for this. My own room, the space I can write and work in. New desk. My books. The discovery of new surroundings. The library. New smells, new views. One more week. What are looking forward to? 🐈 Dzisiaj zaczyna sięnasz ostatni tydzień tutaj. W następną środę spakujemy kocury i wprowadzimy się do naszego nowego domu. Nie mogę się doczekać. Tak bardzo jestem na to gotowa. Mój własny pokój, przestrzeń, w której mogę pisać i pracować. Nowe biurko. Moje książki. Odkrywanie nowego otoczenia. Biblioteka. Nowe zapachy, nowe widoki. Jeszcze jeden tydzień. A Wy? Czego nie możecie się doczekać? 🐈 #onemoreweek #nextwednesday #newhome #catslife #catslove #lovelykitty #newplace #daysofsmallthings #tinytinymoments #dreamscometrue #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #artofslowliving #calmversation #catsofgram #simpleandstill #calm_collected #changeiscoming #dobreżycie #kocieżycie #kociamiłość #kotyinstagrama #nowemiejsce #zmiany #czasnazmiany #idzienowe #zwykłeżycie #żyjposwojemu #kattenvaninstagram #kattenliefde

Maybe that’s the whole secret of time passing by slower when we are kids. As children we always want something to happen. We wait impatiently for our holidays to start, we want to see our friends, and maybe the most important of all we want to be adult, to be free and do what we want.

Maybe the key to slow the time is to want something. To be waiting for the things we want. To be in this children like state of “I can’t wait to be adult finally.” Maybe that’s the magic spell.

I’m waiting impatiently for Wednesday to come. To be home again.
