"Time passes like sand in an hourglass; if you sit and watch the grains of sand, they seem to take forever in their downward spiral, but if pay it no heed, the hourglass needs turned almost immediately. On some occasions, usually the bad times I wish to be over, I seem to notice each grain of sand that slips away, but when I am happy, truly happy, the sands flow quickly without my knowledge and the moments I wanted to last forever are gone."
