Where did my time go?

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Today, I received a new bottle of CBD oil in the mail. I finished the first one not so long ago.

I use the oil to help me sleep when I had an eventful day and my mind won't stop thinking. It's great stuff. No side effects too as far as I can tell.

I remember I wrote about CBD oil in the past and I went to my blog to read what I wrote about it back then. Only to realize it was already SIX months ago!

Where did that time go?

Time goes so much faster now than when I was young.

I heard people say this when I was a kid and thought that would never happen to me.

Back then my days were endless!

But when you get older you realize that most of that 'wisdom' you heard when you were a kid is actually true.

One of them things: Time flies.

I have not a clue why this is so.

Luckily I have become a blogger. So I can roughly see where that time went.



Where did my time go?


I was introduced to Hanos (amazing restaurant store, full of food and cooking hardware) by my friend @s3rg3.

I started to wear happy socks and still do.

I bought around 10K Steem for 2000 dollars.

I grilled with my best friend Ben.

I went out with 4 women.

I realized I wanted financial freedom.

I started vlogging.

I invested in Zappl.

Bianca went to Brasil for 3 weeks and I missed her.



I had an awesome weekend up North with my dad.

I bought tickets to Steemfest2.

I got a Hanos pass even though I shouldn't be able to as an IT business.

I got very drunk and had an amazing time with my friends @eqko, @bennierex and @fabrew drinking Barrel aged beer in Rotterdam.

Bought flowers for Bianca when she came back because she never had any given to her.

My niece turned two and I became her guardian of the Bitcoin.

Took Bianca out for dinner several times.

I ran out of T-shirts and bought a ton of new onces.



Got new sunglasses.

Started manually curating.

Fulfilled a dream and got a green egg.

Stopped snoring because I got a MRA bracket and tried to get the doctor on Steemit.

Learned to claim my own time in a relationship.

Bought EOS.

Made a business deal on the blockchain (logo).

Babysat Sam for the first time.

Grilled a lot.

Made pizza with my nieces.

Started Steemfat.

Helped my mom invest in STEEM.

Went to London to meet @ezzy and @rea.

Got interviewed.

Baby Sam slept over for the first time.



Got in shape.

Changed my first diaper.

Took my dad to the cinema.

Beat @ezzy at Streetfigher V.

Went to the hospital with my dad and his results were good.

And I wrote for Steemit a lot.


I don't think I could have remembered all that if it wasn't for this blog.

It's not a bad list actually for six months. Pretty cool to have it.

I'm not sure if I could have spend it any better :)

Man, that's a great recap of an incredible experiences. No wonder you're always flowing with so much positivity! But I'm telling you, things are only gonna get better from here. I can totally relate to your post "SO" much. Time flies (especially the older we get), but the main thing is we have the best time possible and create some beautiful memories to look back on! You definitely got the checkbox ticked. :)

Great post, man. Loved reading through it (Not sure about the "beating ezzy" bit though, lol).

Bless you, my awesome brother! :)

You know you still kick my ass most of the time :)

He had the "beating ezzy" thing on his bucket list for a while! Heck, he even bought a special game controller just to beat you. Excessive fun!

Lol, that's dedication, right? But this guy is the definition of perseverance! And he actually did it in the end! So much fun, buddy. Spot on. :)

CBD oil? thats pretty cool. Didn't know you were into that kind of stuff.

CBD oil is awesome! Have you ever tried it?

not yet

Though CBD e-liquid still beats oil if you ask me ^.^

I bought it 6 months ago for pain relief for my mom's husband. But she wanted me to try it first. I did. I realized it's pretty nice stuff to use from time to time to help one relax.

It is great to see you have utilized your time well and not only invested in Steem but also in your relationship.

Keep doing the good work and stay happy

@exyle Thank You for helping me to remember all the greats moments in your life. It has been so much FUN !!

see photos of your togetherness with your daughter and your wife. makes me want to be like you, your best husband and dad for your beloved family. 10 years of marriage that I have lived and keep trying to keep it. hopefully I can be like you friend ... thank you for sharing here @exyle

Time flies when you are having fun. It seems that you have found the life you are looking for!

great post @exyle, blogging no doubts help us in many ways and one of the key benefit is once we forgotten something so we have the chance of tracks if we right about it in past, you also made a really great list of almost all works you have done so far and most of them i also know about, steemfest2 i getting closer and you already buy tickets for it that's great, remains proactive is no doubt a great habit and it also helps to be effective as well, stay happy and awesome my friend and have a very cheerful weekend ahead, thanks for sharing.

You are right when people are young, time flies unhurriedly and with age you notice it. But you, judging by your list, have succeeded in many ways and it pleases you, good luck in new business! Thank you @exyle

We're not here long. Seems as though a major element of reconciling how finite our existence is, is just straight up enjoying the ride. I believe Aubrey Marcus & Jamie Wheal talked about this recently on one his podcasts: "a good day to die is when our "house" is in order" or something like that. When we've lived and loved fiercely. Cheers!

Wow awesome post, you bought steem when it was LOW!

Also hows the cbd oil feeling?

The oil is great. I bought most of my Steem over a long period in the downtrend. I still think it's pretty cheap.

Nice, I keep spending all my steem on the steem dice game and losing it lol.

Hehe, that is a cool list! I remember loads of it too. That's what I love about blogging is the ability to see events that have happened in the past that you otherwise might not readily recall.

Just realized I forgot to put don't step on hot coals in there.

Aiyee! Thats a must for the list. Quick, to the edit button! :0D

Somebody told me that if you feel time is flying, you must be enjoying what you are doing. So which mean you are enjoying what you are doing, that is why you think time is flying. Specially been on steemit, it is very interesting.

That was a pretty active 6 months! BTW you are just a young pup with most of your life ahead of you. Wait until you are an old dog like me and then ask where has the time gone. lol

Young pup! Ha! Thanks!

You are right @cecicastor, he is a young pup!! And yes, time flies when you are older. I know!

Yes! You are about the same age as one of my sons, so you are a young pup just starting out in life...

You sure are a good blogger . Sharing your life in a simple way, you make people believe that success can reach every single man. Thanks for that

Thank you.

Time is a constant. You are moving through it faster than you realize. Try to go slow during the special bits.

I've read a little about CBD oil (or heard it mentioned in a podcast). It would be interesting to hear more about your experience with it and what benefits you've found. Sounds like sleeping better is one...

https://steemit.com/life/@exyle/cbd-cannabidiol-oil-test-results-i-love-it-and-will-keep-using-it This is what I wrote back then. I still feel the same. (For snoring and apnea I do use a MRA bracket now).

6 months well spent.

Well, not many can say that actually :) KUDOS!

that is a very respectable list for 6 months. Really? 4 women? :) Sounds like you found one you like....

That is what you say. I think taking stock like you did does make us realize that we actually do a lot - and lots of first times and fun things - then we can appreciate it more. At least that is how it works for me sometimes. And I am way older than you - so my time flies!!! :)

That's a pretty long list afterall ^.^
Recommended my mom into using CBD oil as well, for pretty much the same reason, as she has pretty big issues falling asleep. She's still experimenting with it right now, but hope it helps her ;)

I hope it will help her too!

CBD oil. I have to learn more about it and its' benefits.

The only thing that we have in common: "Bought EOS."

;-) Great post!

Man all this in only six months!!! You are living the life man! I am glad to be a part of it! Let us enjoy life much longer! Also, great to be able to sum up all those events just by going back in your Steemit blogs. Excellent!

@exyle - Sir, what you mean by CBD oil? After all you became a rock star of Steemit... <3 So, why didn't you add it here too.... Anyway, I like your post... Therefore, I wish to ReSteem your post.

+W+ [UpVoted & ReSteemed]

Sounds like you had a grand old time! I have a theory that as you get older time goes exponentially faster making days seem shorter, it's very weird. But I also love CBDs. I get mine online, here's an affiliate link for the site I use: http://www.phytodabs.com/?afmc=22&utm_campaign=22&utm_source=leaddyno&utm_medium=affiliate

Best couple Bianca and you <3 Cute baby you have <3

But when you get older you realize that most of that 'wisdom' you heard when you were a kid is actually true.

Yup and its getting more faster i mean life circle is running so fast that we cant even think about that in our busy life

It's awesome not having any regrets, I hope your next 6 months will be as interesting as the last ones :)

Wow. Great list. Make next year better and that is the whole game.

Wow you enjoy you life every day with all your family

Great spending time..

the same question for me

even so are good reasons to enjoy. all right. that's what the moments life is about

Your six months are full of excitement! Great post! I hope your family is healthy and blessed! Followed!

I really love the nostalgic feel of this post. You wrote it using a very interesting format I might steal for one of my own.

I really want there to be more science out on CBD oil. That stuff is amazing therapeutically and in general for health!

Very good time, beautiful story

All I noticed was

I bought around 10K Steem for 2000 dollars.
