Of growing up and aging

For two years in SAJC, I travelled on the NEL.
And then I stopped doing so when I left the school.

Today, I was on the journey again.

But, on the familiar journey, I could not recall the feeling, of time ticking away helplessly, I experienced today. It was never there, at least never so much "in my face".
I did not remember having to chase after the invisible enemy of time even while traveling.

The scary thing was, but yet, I was not rushing for anything today.

And I knew, instantaneously, I've aged.
