I agree. There is certainly a time for everything. And often, the time chooses what it wants to be rather than us deciding what to make of a time.
There are times when you are afraid you'll burst with joy, and there are times when happiness is but an illusion.
There are times you long for a comforting hand, and times you need to be left alone.
Times when you cherish the past, and times you would rather not walk down the memory lane.
Times when you are so sure of yourself, and times when you don't know why you are the way you are.
Times you can't wait to grow up, and times you weep for the lost childhood.
Times you smile secretly at something, and times you cry silently for an unshareable loss.
Times you are grateful for the gift of reason, and times you hope if only you could somehow stop thinking...
There are times when you don't know whether to laugh or cry and end up doing both at the same time.
Sometimes you can't help but feel awfully frustrated with yourself, wondering when the perfect time would come around to rescue you from the abyss of darkness you're in. And then you realize Allah's set a time and place for everything, and you're not all that worried anymore. Thank you for writing this lovely post. Needed that realization. :)

Maybe the times are crazy for a reason. What do you think? :)

That's true.. And for me, there is no frustration, no regrets. Only, a great sorrow that is beyond explanation. It is like the rain or may be, childhood. When it is over, you simply wish you had more. That's what I feel about certain periods of my life- certain moments even. But then, almost everyone I know has moments in their life that they hope had lasted forever!
