Prime is the best period of one’s life.

 I hate talking about it, yet the more I try to focus on more positive thoughts, the more Time gets in the way. Is it possible that all my pathologies are time-sensitive??? To what extent Time affects you?

Time is possibly the worst dimension created by Man, the awareness of human mortality, just to go one step further by dividing time into generations: we gave youth a good name and old age a bad one.
As Christians, we are supposed to know that there is eternal life after earthly death.

So why obsessing over passing time?!
It is mainly part of Western culture.
Watches are just fashion accessories for some people: time is personal for them, for convenience only, i.e. distinguish night from day, although people adjust hours to their comfort. 
Being late or early does not affect them.
Only certainty, nothing ever happens at the given hour.

I never had issues with time in my country.
I noticed fear of passing time is common between expats.
That led me to discern time from sense of belonging.
We all want to go home at a given time.
God knew us before we were born, hence there’s got to be a reason as to why we were born in a specific place.
Jesus said “Go and spread the Gospel”, though He also indicates us where to go, where we are most needed.

It upsets me how some youngsters define the Prime of life between 20 and 30. 

‘Prime’ doesn’t mean ‘Young’, it is the best period of one s life and can be ANY age, nonetheless the saying “life starts again at 40!”

However, time has a different dimension in autism.
Since Autism is a life-long condition, there s not really a Prime for autists.
Nowadays, there is more awareness and people are diagnosed mainly in childhood.

Children spend more time with teachers than parents in school-age.
My school years were pure hell.

I’m much better off now, though I can’t talk of Prime. 
I never will, probably. I can talk of good days and bad days, eventually.
The good news is that I’ll never feel old.
