Lost in Time

by A.G. Riddle

That was the way of the world, he thought: you give it your all; sometimes it’s enough, sometimes it’s not, and sometimes, the tide carries you in.

But the tide can’t help you if you don’t get close enough.

He vowed that if he ever got home, he would start a third era of his existence. He would love again with his whole heart. He would engage with friends and family, knowing life was full of pain and that was simply the way it was.

There was no single meaning of life—there was only the meaning of your life.

“It happens. Life is about getting up. Not avoiding falling down.”

Time and life had taught her one thing: you do all you can, and at some point, it’s either enough or it’s not. The tides of a life and your efforts either carry you in. Or sink you.

sometimes life gives you problems you can’t solve today. That’s what tomorrow is for. And that’s why you keep going.”
