Everyone knows that time speeds up as we age; what is less known is that this acceleration does not continue indefinitely. As children, summer vacations seemed to last forever. Three months appeared almost like a lifetime. Now, years pass and when you look back, you struggle to understand where the time went. Something has changed; but what? This feeling is independent of geography and culture: Japanese grandmothers describe it, Norwegian grandfathers do too. A comprehensive study involving 499

In a room, six or perhaps eight people sit side by side. The same hesitation on their faces, the same avoiding glances in their eyes… Each person has come to sit there carrying their own inner storm, and each is nearly certain of this: “No one can understand what I am going through, this chaos and deadlock inside me. This burden rests only on my shoulders.” When a person is alone with their pain, they feel like the sole inhabitant of the world, the only living being carrying that wound. Even ami

At the far end of the school corridor, in a quiet corner where the noise gradually fades, there is a sign written in a calm font: Guidance Service.
