Time Will Tell Quotes

“The thing they don't tell you about time - you turn thirty, and you still feel like you're fifteen. More than a decade has past, but you still like chocolate chips hidden in ice cream, good-morning texts from your mom, and movies that make you dream.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Time Will Tell

“I was forced to ask myself, 'What would I do if fear did not hold me back? Who would I be in this world, where would I go, and what could I become?' And, now, I understand - you look Fear in the eyes, and you say, 'You can be here, but you will not stand in my way.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Time Will Tell

“But I like to think of life in the same way I think of flowing water. Sometimes, the creeks, the streams, and the lakes will all be dry. Filled with carnage, broken branches, dead leaves, dust, and dirt. But then the rain comes, and all the tiny droplets of water merge together to create the river once more.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Time Will Tell

“You will always be someone I wish good things for.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Time Will Tell

“How do I convey
with so little words
that everything in your life
will eventually be okay?

I think of you
and my heart feels job.

I look at you
and my soul knows hope.

I am in awe of you
and all the things you can do.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Time Will Tell

“I could pretend and tell you
that, long ago,
I finished recovering, that I
climbed mountains,
overcame challenges,
weathered storms,
arriving at the place of peace,
and I have since not left.

But this is not the truth,
because this is not life.
The truth of life
is finding recovery
in every new day.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Time Will Tell

“But with reflection comes recovery.

And recovery is not measured on how
deep the cut or the wound or the scar.

The recovery is measured on the way
you adjust to living with the memory.

To understanding you will never be the
same again, and that is the point.

You're a new person, with another scar
in the story, but the scar does not define
the story.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Time Will Tell

“You have lost some, and the wound is so fresh; you are caught between wanting to fill it with daisies and joy or stitching it back together and never speaking of what caused the pain in the first place.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Time Will Tell

“A room is just a room
if not filled with the
things that make us smile
an laugh and beam with pride.

A day is just a day
if not made up of moments
that make us feel alive
and convince us not to hide.

A year is just a year
if not spent with those we love
to remind us we can do more
than just survive.

A life is just a life
if not reflected upon often
and memories fondly
thought of
from time to time.”
― Courtney Peppernell, Time Will Tell
