Lost in Time

She didn’t understand it all, but like a mountain she was climbing, each step she took got her closer to seeing the whole picture. Every day, the ground she had covered before built on itself, and the task ahead seemed smaller.

But her mother’s voice was clear. “It would make me so sad if I’m what keeps you from being happy.”

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.

I think beliefs and time determine our future.

But that’s one thing I’ve learned about time: sometimes life gives you problems you can’t solve today. That’s what tomorrow is for. And that’s why you keep going.”
