What’s a thing you were completely obsessed with as a kid?

View all responses

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with doing everything fast. It appears that life indoctrinates young kids on doing things the fastest. Who can run the fastest, how fast can you finish the test, and how long does it take to memorize a verse or something? Everything throughout life had speed involved, from the race on the playground to the countdown before the school bell rang. Speed has been important all my life, shaping my experiences and choices in ways I only began to understand as I grew older. This relentless pursuit of swiftness seems ingrained in our culture, where success is often measured by how quickly we can accomplish tasks. Now AI is keeping up the tradition and making everything faster than before, providing tools and solutions that streamline our daily routines, elevate our productivity, and challenge us to redefine our limits. In this fast-paced world, I often wonder if the rush for speed has made us lose sight of the beauty in taking our time and enjoying the journey.
