Throughout the trip, the speed of time has constantly been changing. As the coined term says, time flies when you’re having fun. I will also add that time almost freezes when you are growing character and not in a rush. Living in Santiago now for almost 3 months has revealed to me just how prominent the changing speed of life is in my life and others'. Having experiences in downtown Santiago and in the beautiful nature-scape of Easter Island has confirmed these intuitions. Time literally slows down in environments where a slower life is accepted. The urban human can be limited to the false obligation to keep up with the fastest, when the reality is that people are only restricted by the restrictions they accept as truth. To simplify all this babble, I will say this: whether it be in South America or North America, it is up to us individually to choose the speed of life and how we live it.
