⌚️ What age would you like to be if you had the ability to choose a given point in your life, past or future, and why?

Going through my thirties was very pleasant for me, it was the time when I felt more confident in my abilities. As a woman I no longer felt the normal insecurities of young women, although I consider that a woman is still young at 40 or 50 years old, the 30's made me feel young to think of crazy things and I knew how to do them without leaving traces, it is also the perfect age if you want to procreate so I would like to be 35 years old forever.

⌚️ If you could fast forward over a particular year of your life so you didn't have to live it which would it be, and why?

There is a time in my memory that I would like to erase from my mind, it was practically a year in which I suffered a lot, I cried too much, I grew up fast and I understood many things, it was when I was 28 years old at that time I was so happy, in my studies I was doing very well I was one of the best students in my class I got excellent grades and I enjoyed college, I lived alone and was independent, I worked and although the salary was very little I felt that I contributed a good seed to the children with whom I worked, that work for a while filled my being I was also in a dating relationship that made me fly through the clouds, he was a person that I admired so much I respected and loved him. I had a very nice life until I woke up from a single slap.

Months before the family had celebrated the remission of my favorite aunt's cancer, her body had no cancer, the studies revealed a month later she had metastasis in her brain leaving her blind and disabled, that was the beginning of the end, they had already removed a breast, but seeing her so helpless impacted me, as she was a woman of strong character and fighter. At that time a close cousin also got sick with cancer and died, then another death of a younger cousin of hepatitis, his death was very surprising because no one knew he was sick, all this happened in the same week and just at that time my love relationship ended.

There were many emotions in a short time and that year marked me, I stopped being the girl who thought life was rosy, to be a woman more aware of time and its true value.

⌚️ Have you ever wished time would move more slowly, or quickly? When and why?

I always wish that time would move slower, not in a specific moment but in a general way, because I feel that time goes by very fast, a few days ago talking with my dad I felt sad to see how time passes us by without realizing it.

My dad observed an acquaintance passing by and asked me if he looked the same as that man, I had trouble understanding his point of comparison and I asked him what he meant and he told me that if he looked the same age, he was comparing himself to a person who is in his forties, I answered no and he made a gesture of disappointment. My father will be 69 years old this year 2022, he looks good for his age, he is still active working and is still the main benefactor of the household, but he has never exercised, his life has been work and sleep, he has taken few vacations.

I get the impression that he is going through a mid-life crisis with delayed effect, lately he buys big bottles of vitamins, drinks a glass of wine daily to keep from aging, I heard him say it, when I told him that he could not look forty-something because they already have a daughter of that age he reacted badly by not accepting my comment, refusing to accept his own chronological and physical age. His reaction made me feel sorry because it is sad not to accept old age, I guess it is due precisely to how quickly time passes without enjoying our life to the fullest. This is one of the recent memories I have about time.
