Time defines our existence. Time shapes rituals, memories, sensory experiences, and how we navigate through our lives. Where we are from inherently serves as a basis for how we experience time. 

A relaxed surfer from Santa Cruz may know time as one who drags its feet, while a teen born and raised in urban Tokyo may define time as a clock running twice its normal speed. Whether it’s a case of timeliness, pace, or any other interpretation, time hits different when you’re back at home.

Show us how your home shapes the way you experience time.

This can be as personal or as universal as you’d like. As always, there are no wrong interpretations (except for inappropriate content, hate speech, etc.).
