Time isn't long or short, it just is
Epistemic status: A bit esoteric and ill-defined, but I stand by the point made here.
We often speak of time as if it’s short or long. We don’t have enough time for something, or, time stretches on forever.
Rick Rubin writes the following on Patience in The Creative Act:
Time simply flows, in much the same way as it always does and always has done, one second followed by the next.
All we can do is follow along and make the decisions that serve us best. Our time is limited, and so it’s in our best interest to work around the limitations, instead of trying to break them.
