No time

Familiar? The two words we tend to use in this day and time. NO TIME.

It's true. People are so "busy" these days that they give excuses for not dating, exercising, meeting friends, spending time with family, learning a new trade, going for a holiday, doing charity etc. Yes, we all work our ass off and place it the top priority over our health, families and everything that should come first. Is it our lack of time management that pushes us to say "no time"? Is it that our families and friends are not important? No? If not, what is it?

In The Lake House, Alex Wyler (Keanu Reeves)'s brother asked him the reason he is not seeing anyone. Alex answered "I have no time for this!" And his bro said "What has time got to do with this?" At that point, it struck me. I keep telling people I have no time to be in a relationship. Somehow it's true. I have too many things I want to do and achieve right now. But really, what has time got to do with it? Maybe in Kate (Sandra Bullock) and Alex's case, it is kinda time consuming to be writing to each other all the time since they lived 2 years apart. Confusin? Watch the show k. But in a normal average person like you and me, what has time got to do with it? Maybe time is not the absolute reason here. Maybe its the priority. Maybe its waiting for "the one" to finally arrive. Maybe the time has not arrived. Maybe its all excuses.
Maybe....
