let me get personal here for a little. i just had this thought and
my brain exploded. people get confused and sometimes irritated when
i say that even a minute makes a difference. it's just a
minute...right? what they dont know is that just 5 seconds made the
biggest difference in...and for...my life. it isnt about petty
arguments, whether to close up shop at 7:59 or if we should wait
till 8:02. it's about a deeply rooted feeling in my soul that 5
seconds saved my life. 5 seconds. the difference between my family
and loved ones mourning my death, and me being successful and
thriving at a job i didnt even really ask for a couple years later.
when someone says "it's only one minute, it doesnt matter"...my
soul knows it does matter. so if i shoot you a glare at a remark
about the time...dont take it personally. my body is just glad to
be alive and breathing. thank you, i think im done now.
