Isn't the passage of time such a sad thing?

Sometimes my grandfather says "Where do the years go?"
I think that way too.. really scary. :/

It can be, yes. The passage of time often brings change, loss, and the fading of people, places, or versions of ourselves we once loved. There’s a certain melancholy in watching things slip into memory how quickly moments become the past, how youth fades, how people drift or disappear.

But time also gives depth. It allows growth, healing, perspective, and the chance to evolve. Sadness and beauty often walk together nostalgia is proof of that. It hurts because it mattered.

So yes, time passing can be sad. But it’s also what makes meaning possible.

Would you like it better if the passage of time ended for you? Be happy with the time you have. It's the most valuable thing you will ever own. Use it wisely. Protect it aggressively. Shun people who waste it.

No, neither sad nor scary... just noticing that, can be beneficial if motivated to "make each day count" do stuff not just sit by tv! That would be sad.

I can relate to that, yeah. 😞

Sometimes, but what are you going to do?
