Life's long!

I'm sorry, I know I'm not supposed to be here, I'm not supposed to be at all, actually, but I think I'll try and fake normality.

People keep saying that life's short, and usually they advice you to live every moment like your last. I'm not gonna talk about the advice. It doesn't matter. But I wonder everyday who are these people who tell us life's short??? I'd ask them if they know where it ends. Why do they think life's short while they're still alive and their heart's still beating!?
Do they remember when they were kids and they just couldn't wait to grow up so they don't have to sleep at noon anymore? - I remember and the waiting felt like forever.
Don't they imagine how the past seems so long for people who did so much with their life?
Don't they know there are people who actually live for 100 years?

How long is the year when you're waiting to see someone you miss?
How long is the month left till your holidays?
How long is the hour when you're in bed with fever?
How long is a minute when you're waiting for a website to load?

It seems to me that life's not so short, my darling.
I have time to change my mind.
I have time to have doubts, to wait, to do nothing, to start something new, to do 5 things at the same time, to kill the past and be born again a million times.
I have time to know myself, to grow up, to run from love to hate and back again, to be sad, to forgive.
I have time to translate my anger into art, I have time to forget, to remember, to be myself or to be someone else if I want to.
Life is longer than patience. I keep telling myself I have time for everything. I just have to be there - body % soul - to enjoy it.
Don't panic! Life's long!
