  1. century. What a big word….a big concept. What does a century do as a hobby? what color is a century? does a century have a beard? is a century squareshaped or spherical…why didnt they name it something more exciting/thought provoking….can a century FEEL…can it want, can it live, can it give CPR….and if it had a beard, do you think it would let me surf on it?

  2. a century had passed since the great pancake famine of ’69, and the maple trees would see no more human shaped bottles coming to collect.

  3. The century passed so slowly. Immortality was a lot less exciting than Jakub had originally thought it would be. Every month he would get the urge to end it. Kill himself. But he couldn’t.

  4. In a century, I will not be underground. I will be condensed into a bottle, or perhaps a box, perched upon a night table or scattered across the pavement. They won’t pour me in the lake because of my fear of the water. I just don’t want to be in a coffin.

  5. Don’t think just write why is there the same word? No generator for new ones? Why am I writing this again, then? Productivity is waning here.. I don’t care about the word century anymore. Did I ever? Well, no. It’s not a word to care about, to be honest.

  12. At the beginning when the world was created in mere seconds, nobody knew that it was going to be like this. That we’d reach the ultimate number of 21st, and will be talking about going to the moon. So what, are you waiting for? I asked him. Anything you dream would surely be no more foolish than the idea of going to the moon.

  13. Century? We’re living in one. The 21st, I think. There have been a lot of centuries as history has gone by. I always thought it was weird how we call it the 21st century. Everyone always connects 21st century with advancements and shit.

  14. A hundred years of time and 100 times the years
    one hundred paper people
    running at 100 different speeds
    Who are you?
    And where are you going?
    A hundred years of time is all you have.

  15. The time seemed to drip by the seconds to hours, minutes to days, hours to centuries. Amelia sat in the ER waiting for news. Her day had gone far from planned ending with Demitri in a car accident and possibly in a comma.

  16. I am more than half a century old and counting up to 100. Will I make it? Odds and genetics say I have a good chance. But I know I must do certain things to make it a reality—and some of those things will be harder than I’d like. Is it worth it?

  19. This is the start of the new century. Sure, it’s been 10 years into it, but in the grand scheme of things, that’s not a lot of time. The 20th century changed more rapidly than any previous century. I hope the 21st calms down a bit.

  20. Fin de siecle and we cheered, because we thought that the new century would be better than the last. In our vain naivety we imagined a choice world now –

  24. It feels like a century since i’ve last seen his face. His lips defined and bold, his eyes a dark pool of wonder. It’s been too long. In dreams the image is only passing, not enough to sustain the thirst inside my soul. In good time, I tell myself. In good time we will be brought back together. The songs I used to sing will finally light a smile across my face. My old, boring routine will satisfy me, leave me fulfilled at the end of the day. Until then, a dream is worth a lifetime.

  25. a new begining for everyone. a time for the world to stat again with every one. a time that comes only once every one hundred years. and if you see it youre lucky.

  30. I never used to think about time. Not so long ago I wasn’t even aware of time. And yet look at me now, it’s all I ever think about. How it goes by so fast, or even so slow. Time can be a second or a century. There’s no difference.

  31. i don’t know about love but if you take one step closer

  34. I feel like I’m centuries old when I don’t sleep. It’s 5:30 in the AM and I have not slept since yesterday. I am always awake when you’re not here. I need you beside me to sleep because without you I feel unsafe…vulnerable…a million years old and fragile like glass.

  38. Hopefully I won’t live for a century. Only the majority of it.

  39. Three years until I enter my third century on Earth. Time goes by so quickly. At some point in the next two centuries, I could be married, with children, a house and a dog. At least that’s what I hope. Just like everybody else I know. How boring.

  40. So few will fumble their way through a century of living, loving and learning. But if they do.. is it lifetime of past regret and sadness… or one filled with dreams and hope of another century filled with more of what has passed.
