Time humbles you. You may think time is never enough, but really it is enough. It gives you chances for you to climb the ladder and fall down and get up again. To stand on the stage and to fade into the blur of everyone. To make mistakes. To learn from those mistakes. To wrong others. To correct your wrongdoing. To see what matters, and what doesn’t. To fall in love. To deal with heartbreak. To fall all over again. To see the end in the beginning. To see the beginning in the end. Darling, you’re going to get a bit of it all. Time humbles you in ways you will never expect. You will make friends, lose those friends. Remember, life is lived, full or not. Sometimes, you will have to settle for loving someone from a distance, and that is okay. You will never know what you want from time. You’ve chased time for a little understanding. When you reason, when you change, when you detour, when you stall, time is always there. If there is a gap in time, the gap will show itself in solitude. And when you finally reach the afterlife, caught between a strong mind and a fragile heart, you will want to write a love note to time, glowing white and exuberant, to remind yourself of the ways in which you ached.
