I hate when I ask for the time and someone will say "oh it's 5:30", when in reality it's 5:26
I know that it's four measly minutes and it may not seem like a lot, but why cut corners? I like knowing the exact time because I know how long my favorite song is and if I can listen to it in the span of three minutes and twelve seconds while walking to class, I will.
My mind simply cannot deal with the fact that someone just lied to me about the time. Time! Of all things. Time is precious and we all want more of it.
If we had all the time in the world, we wouldn't worry about a **** thing. I wouldn't worry about the fact that it takes me 13 minutes to straighten my hair. I wouldn't worry about the time that it takes me to get to school, which is 23 minutes on a good day. I wouldn't worry about being late to church because it takes me 32 minutes to get there. I wouldn't worry about the fact that I got to the hospital 4 minutes too late and now, now there is no time left.
I like my time, you see? If I were given one last chance to spend from 5:26 to 5:30 to spend with the person I loved most in the world, and then you said "its 5:30" , then I'd know I was too late. It's not just about fast forwarding my time, it's about me knowing whether I have enough time to fix my make up one last time or listen to a song or just hug them for 7 more seconds.
It's about being able to say I love you, one last time.
