Blink your eyes and things change. They change no matter what. You can’t fight it by observing. You think a watched pot never boils, but no matter how hard you stare, it will.
You can change the perception of time in your head, but you can’t change its flow. It’s your attention that lapses, not the world.
Pay attention to the things worth paying attention to, and let time flow when it needs to. Close your eyes. It’s okay to let some things slide past you. You need the rest.
