//4:42 <2 mins> 4:44
I wake up quite often in the middle of the night. Many times, when I looked up the time on the phone, it would be 4:44.
This time, I woke up again from a weird dream. I hadn’t opened my eyes. I forced myself to sleep, but I couldn’t. When I was about to open my eyes and see what time, I said to myself, not this time again.
\uffff, 4:42. Somehow I immediately realized the digital clock in the living room, which is always 2 minutes ahead, 4:44 appeared, but it’s just not on my screen, not in my range of sight. Damn, this time got me, it gave me a scare, especially when I was still calming from the dream. When I did no action in these two minutes, except getting disturbed by my thoughts. I also started to wonder if I earned the time or if my time was stolen.
Is there something always two minutes ahead in my life? It’s just that I don’t see and realize it (yet). Or like a star, it blinked, and you just haven’t seen it. Is it what time is doing to us? It’s always already there. It’s just you haven’t arrived, or you haven’t visited back.
