my in-laws bought me an electric toothbrush 2 christmases ago and i've been using it ever since. it is automatically set to brush for 2 minutes straight before it shuts off. even though the timer doesn't change, i usually have to press the button again in the mornings (since i won't even be done with my bottom teeth) but at night the minutes seem to drag on and on.
sometimes i wonder why this is, especially because the brush is always on for the same amount of time. how could 2 minutes pass by so quickly and at the same time, move so incredibly slow? is it because i'm tired in the mornings, still waking up, sluggish with my movements? does it feel prolonged at night because i'm wanting my bed and to be done with it, like a chore?
it's interesting that pockets of time, measured and unchanging, can vary by so much simply based on the situation.
i like that you brought out a much deeper idea from an everyday, small thing!
