A game about trying to get somewhere on time. Simple enough, right?

I could identify with this game for sure. It's pretty small and doesn't dig in-depth in its topic, but I'm rating it higher because I see myself in it.
In this brief Choicescript game, the protagonist is constantly late (it doesn't say to what; school? work? church?). Most of the game is about how you feel about that. Are you going to do better? Did you find the cause? Do you just self-recriminate?
For circumstances partially within my control, I've been late to work more than 90% of the time over the last 6 years. Like the protagonist, I know it's possible to be on time because it's happened before, but also like the protagonist I find it pretty difficult (in my case, partially because I transport other people to other places).
So I was glad to find this little piece that was like a self-reflective poem to me (it's not structured as poetry, but it itched the same part of my brain).
