How do you represent How Time goes Faster as you Get Older?
I have thought about this a lot over the past year. Part of coming to India was to see if I could be truly creative. Life at work will only tolerate a certain amount of creativity and then the hammer comes down and ‘Computer Says NO!’ I knew I needed some limits to be creative …
