6 Minutes
6 minutes before I leave the computer to the world of elsewhere. In 6 minutes, I will type a blog article. In 6 minutes, I could have drawn a very quick sketch. In 6 minutes, I could have read one tenth of an hour long read or watched two 3-minute long music videos.
A minute has passed, and I am now in 5 minutes left to write. It is in five minutes that I can type my thoughts regarding life, love, passions, and the number 42. 5 minutes is enough time to do alot, but then it becomes 4 minutes.
And it is at the strike of 4 minutes left, counting down so very quickly, I look at what I have written and pause for a moment. I consider my next few words for the time is short.
In my pause, in my thoughts, another minute passed by and went. At three minutes left, I have more to say and do not know how I wish to say it. I want to stop and think, but the time is late. I realize that I could have, from the start, spent two minutes to organize my thoughts then the other four to write and refine my means of communicating them.
And thus begins the time when I have only two minutes left. I have wasted much time looking at the clock. I realize it is ticking, ticking, and every moment of my life may pass such that I will never forget the time I spent.
It has been said that the only thing you cannot recycle is wasted time. I cannot say I have wasted my time up until now, but I am left with one minute left. One final minute for words, and I realize that perhaps, if I spent all my little moments proficiently as I have not, I may find truer the worth of each minute.
6:00PM. The time is gone.
