Sluggish Time. Still at 97.

I feel sad today. Every time I remember that Christmas is fast approaching, I couldn't help but think that there's this deep emptiness within me (not that I feel incomplete, but the mere fact that I am missing someone). Three days is over but it's still 97 days more and I always wish time would fly fast - so fast that I couldn't feel the hardships of waiting. Someone at work once told me that time ticks slow when you're waiting and it ticks fast when you're enjoying the moment. It's so true. I know how it feels when you're waiting for someone when you know that you will be missing some important holidays you can spend together - thinking of Christmas, New Year, my birthday, and Valentine's day. Every day that I count drives me crazy as it takes 24 hours to complete a day - Oh God, I still have 97 days and 24 hours a day is too long for me. Time, why are you so sluggish? Is there a way for you to skip thousands of hours and bring me to Feb 28 real soon? Sigh.
