OMG, Dennis! I have a journal entry exactly like this in my journal, written when I was, yup, you guessed it---19 y.o.!!
From this post and one you wrote a little while back, it sounds to me like you are struggling with some similar questions to those I struggled with at your age. I remember how hard that struggle felt.
At my age now (40), I no longer ponder these questions at length. Time is mysterious and confusing and elusive, but I guess I am so used to not understanding it, I don't bother trying anymore!!
As for the "meaning of life" questions, I ponder those mostly when depressed, and it is a set up because while it is the main time I am drawn to these questions, it is also the wrong time for me to ponder them, because the conclusions I tend to draw about myself and my life are very dark, of course, due to the depression.
