Time

The beauty that I purchased recently.

A watch that quietly tells time, and only time.

In a fast paced society, a watch represents much more than an apparatus that tells time. It also brings the notifications (when we can’t be bothered to look at our phone, or when we cannot brazenly stare at our phones during meetings), tell us vital stats, and do alot of other acrobatics. It’s a mini phone in nature, which sits nicely on the wrist.

A watch, is never just a watch these days. It fuels our need to be constantly in the know, to consistently respond when needed. We need to know the stats of our last run, how far did we go? How fast did we go? Down to the exact second, down to the exact meter. They are smart enough to guess what we are doing most of the time.

The question is, do we really need to know? What do we do with the knowledge? Do we use it to set new goals? I am busy, charting my progress, and then making new goals. Do I really need to go to that extend, or am I just chasing goals after goals for the thrill of it.

Someone once remarked, “You are always preoccupied.”

Then I snapped out of it. Perhaps I don’t need to.

Recently while using the laptop, I uncovered a whole range of photos of myself…in an era sans the phone on my wrist.

I look so much healthier, and happy.

I look so carefree, and busy being me.

At this moment, I miss myself, so so much.
