I really admire Jedidah’s idea to slow down the passage of time. I’ve always liked to travel and discover new things so this kind of spending time is in my style. My dream and goal is to travel around the world one day, but for now I’m not sure that I will be cycling during my all journey like Jedidah, but maybe that’s something I should think about. If we want to slow down the passage of time, we don’t have to become a traveller, because everyone is different and has various hobbies. We can use his ideas in a distinct way. For someone, it will be a journey, but for someone else it could be developing a website. The most important thing is to don’t waste our time on junk stuff and try to do something which will develop us and stimulate our imagination.
Life really passes quickly and we need to make the most of it. Jedidiah’s adventure will be a memory for him to cherish – most of our days are unfortunately not as memorable. We let the reality carry us without our active participation. Making a change and choosing our own adventure can become a turning point in our lives – allowing us to reflect on everyday life.. And, at the very least, it will provide us with pictures to show and stories to tell.
