I wrote Give Time on July  2018. My best friend Alvaro and I were going to spend a week on the beach in south Spain and I thought it was the perfect time to create something that would assure me a place on a British university next year.

​

The writing process took me two weeks. I wanted to talk about how sometimes us humans need more time than what is expected from society to overcome a problem or to get over someone.

​

In Spain we are known to be really open to strangers so it is not that common to find someone who decides not to talk at all. That is the case of our main character, the boy (Alvaro Del Estal).

I decided not to give names to my character as it is not that important. That way we would only focus on the main plot: getting to know HIM.

​

Unsuccessful effort leads to rage and curiosity that taken to the real world is translated into breaking someone's privacy by "spying".

That is what our second main character, the girl (Karla Isabel Barroso) does.

She can't accept the fact of him being so not talkative so she decides to find answers by herself.

​

Our third character, the Grandmother (Casimira Cabada) could be seen as what we all have: consciousness.

She makes her granddaughter understand that we need to give time to people, specially if they are strangers, to feel comfortable. 

We don't know anything from their past and so we need to respect their times.
