83 - A Time of Hearts


I have become quite the snob to watches because of the men with the greatest influence  in my life. Even now. Despite being older. Despite being an adult. Despite having a mind of my own.

My father and my uncle who was my best nanny ever, have told me at a young age not to be too keen on digital watches. That I ought to stick to analog ones, because digital watches are for kids, for those who are too lazy to read and appreciate how measuring time was discovered.

And since then, I was still planning what to take up in university, my uncle told me that if I plan to take up an engineering course, it would be bad form for me to wear a digital watch. Like it would be sacrilegious to do so.

I don't have anything against digital watches. Nada.
I think they are pretty efficient.
I just don't wear or use one.

I don't remember wearing a digital watch in my life. The few times I was given one when I was a kid were barely even used. Not when still living under my father's roof or with my uncle who frequently visited.

Yes. I grew up with very strange men.
