Let's talk about time

Postado em 19/02/2017.

We live in a world where people are always in a hurry: we want to see short videos because we're not patient enough to see the same thing for more than five minutes (or we just need to do something else, so it gotta be quick); we want to finish school as soon as possible, so we can go to college and then find a job, buy a nice house and start a family (never thinking about the present, just the future); we need to eat fast food and industrialized food because we can't cook at home (lack of time sucks); we have responsabilities, important things to do and, sometimes, it's really hard to manage your time. That feels... kinda wrong to me.

Don't worry, I'm not complaining about being busy. In fact, I believe that one of the worst things ever is feeling bored, because you start thinking too much and it drives you crazy after a while. It's like your mind creates problems that doesn't exist and everything looks bigger than it really is. Do you know that expression in Portuguese?  I'll try to translate it to English: "The empty mind is the Devil's workshop" (Wow, that sounded nice, I thought that if I translated the sentence it would sound weird, but that's good). It's just that... I don't know, I wish I could control time. Yes, I want to be like Dialga, the legendary Pokémon hehehe.

It would be nice to just "pause", you know? The clock would stop and then I could do things I can't do now because of this especially exhausting semester at college. I don't need one hour or a day, it doesn't need to be a long break. I wish I could stop and look at the colors of the sky when the day is coming to an end (I love it when it has some pink, cute clouds), or maybe listen to a song in the middle of class when I'm feeling stressed and sing along (James Bay would be nice), or just talk with a friend about anything (books, TV series, problems, relationships, it doesn't matter) and not keep on thinking "OMG I gotta do that thing for tomorrow right now, I can't talk a lot, I need to be fast". Small things, you know? It doesn't need to be a six-month vacation or something like that (but that would be great, too kkk).

Maybe if we didn't have clocks we could enjoy our lifes in a better way. Sure, maybe it would be a big mess and everyone would be lost, but think about it: there are so many things we don't do because of our fast, almost limited routines. We could be happier, lighter. It would be good to our minds and bodys if we could stop and breathe for a few minutes. I wish I had the control of time, just for a day. 

Imagine the difference it would make in the world if we could make these pauses like, I don't know, 3 or 4 times a day ("Bia, I need more pauses than that! u.u" kkkk sorry guys, with great powers comes great responsability, we can't abuse or we would pause entire days, and that's not my point kkk). People would smile more, be more relaxed... Life would be better. Maybe those few minutes would make a big difference in a fight (someone could pause, calm down and then say "sorry" and finish the problem) or in a moment of fear (you can relax and then deal with the situation in the best possible way). Think about it, would you like it? :)

I guess that's it xD I'll leave here a song by James Bay, one of my favorite singers and the guy I mentioned in this text. I hope you like it, I think it's great :3
