Time...

I am leaving home soon... but I want to post something today, I have about 10 minutes... Let's talk about it, then: TIME! Did you ever stop and really look at the clock to monitor how long one minute really is?

Well, I was really surprised when I did it for the first time as a kid. Back in the day, I decided to check out how long a minute was, I looked at the clock and when the minute changed I fixed my eyes on it, and slowly counted down from sixty to zero. I remember thinking, "Oh my God, one minute is a long time", It went way slower than I thought...

I remember how long it was for the next holiday season to come. I had to make sure to ask for the right gift from Santa, otherwise I would have to wait for another entire year; It seemed like I had to wait forever for the next Christmas... Same thing with birthdays, I remember being 15 years old, back in Brazil, and couldn't wait to turn 18, so I could drive, drink and get into the clubs (I know, what a bad mix, well honestly I was already used to drinking, I only had to learn how to drive and how to not do both at the same time), but anyways, from 15 to 18 years old was a long wait...

After decades of my "one minute experience", my impression is that "time goes by faster as you get older". It seems that the hours, the weeks, the months and years are shorter every year. Crazy... don't you think?

Oh, God!!! I got go... it has passed 15 minutes... Jesus... I am late...
