Hastiness (Precrastination)
You can be starving
And make a quick meal
But the slower you cook
The tastier the dish
I have developed a symptom of hastiness
as I feel every time I start working on a project, it needs to be finished as soon as possible.
I reflected back to my earlier experience of hastiness when I was an architectural student at Damascus University. In the last three years of my studies, the Syrian crisis broke out. It did not affect me directly in Damascus as I was living in somewhat safer parts. However, the energy supply system was severely damaged. That led the authorities to compensate for the energy shortage by making regular blackouts in residential areas. Which sometimes last for 16 hours a day (we only get to use electricity 4 hours a day).
Now energy supply is not supposed to be an essential need that would affect you profoundly. But an architecture student depends on computer programs to work on their projects. That will result in considerable stress problems for such people. You always feel an urge to finish tasks quickly before the next blackout comes.
Hastiness, I still cannot overcome you
I feel my heart rates going up while writing these rows
although I know, I have more than enough time
and a steady energy supply
but still, I can feel you
I have, however, an opening
to pace my pace
and breath with every s p a c e
