The relevance of clocks

The clock is ticking. Time for reading, time for understanding, time for delivering opinions. Tick, tack - and time is gone.

How to choose among everything we learned to be essential, how to ackowledge that it mustn't be, because there's not enough time.

How to forgive myself for all those wasted hours in my adolescence facing white walls and turning on the television just to forget about the time that was passing by. If I missed it, maybe I'd be older soon enough for my anxious being.

I'm (still) anxious now that I'm older, and the clock is ticking.
