Hurried children and adults dancing as fast as they can. This seems to be a century where we have combined enlightenment, reason, progress and anxiety. Each one seems to have found the light, yet, we sometimes feel that we are in the dark of what the future may bring. Progressed, yet the quality of life is questioned. Internet that is supposed to connect people, yet have caused disconnectedness. Hurried children. Literally, hurried. With barely enough sleep, they wake up so early to beat the traffic and reach their school on time. School performance tasks aimed to prepare them for life, yet, with exhaustion and anxiety, you wonder if they still have time to be children. Toddlers taught how to read sentences when their peripheral vision isn't ready for such. Tweens wearing skimpy clothes, high heels, in a relationship, sometimes complicated. We have adults dancing as fast as they can. With the demands of the roles they play, managing and exceeding expectations whether from self or others, they seem to dance as fast as they can, to get over it, or to go to the next dance. Anxious, exhausted, just like the hurried children. (Salamat Daryl Oaminal sa nindot na sapatos.) Texts and photos are not mine. Credits goes to the author with her permission.
