Do not waste time. That's a message we should all hear louder, and more often. All that time you spend worrying about the future is actually causing the future to move on ahead of you, whistling past your ears whilst you procrastinate about it. And if these words aren't driving the message home for you, how are you with in-your-face metaphors about time literally being flushed down the toilet?
Memories only happen if we make them happen. Plans only succeed if we act on them. If we sit still and do nothing, nothing will happen, and opportunities will pass us by. This poor woman looks like she planned for a holiday at one point. She even packed a bag. She just never got around to doing it, and then the moment disappeared. As Eminem warned us all in 8-Mile, you get one shot and one opportunity at most things. Carpe diem. Seize the moment.
