When a Minute Feels Like Forever
Ever had a conversation with someone so captivating that two hours vanished like smoke? Or waited five minutes for a text reply that stretched into what felt like an eternity?

While clocks measure time objectively, our brains process it subjectively, creating a deeply personal temporal landscape that shapes everything from our relationships to our sense of meaning. This exploration into temporal perception reveals something startling: the way we experience time fundamentally determines the quality of our lives, our decisions, and ultimately, who we become.
