Things We Forget

  • Time is my most expensive currency. I’m learning to spend it on what matters most.

  • Intention

    Yes, I need time. But I’m realizing time alone isn’t enough — I need intention within it.

  • Be

    We all need time — but not just to work or plan. Time to wander. Time to laugh. Time to just be.

  • Do I need time? Yes. But I also need to stop pretending I can control it.

  • I need time to think. Time to feel. Time to not rush into fixing what just needs understanding.

  • Ketamine please

    Sometimes I wonder if I really need time, or if I just need rest — deep, soul-level rest.

  • Yes

    Time feels like sand slipping through my fingers. I don’t need more of it; I just want to learn how to hold it.

  • Do I need time? Always. But not more hours in a day — more motivation within each of them.

  • I am

    Yes. I need time to remember who I am when no one is watching.

  • Lessons

    Time heals everything, they say. But maybe time doesn’t heal — maybe we grow by using the scars to remind us of the lessons we learned.
