If only it could see that youโre not ready. If only it could slow down while you mourned someone you loved. If only it could pause while you figured life out. If only it could wait until you became the person you promised yourself youโd be But ๐๐๐ข๐ has never negotiated with anyone. It doesnโt know whether youโre happy or sad, rich or broke, successful or completely lost.
To time, every second is just one second.
Not because itโs cruel but because it doesnโt care.
Thatโs why I think weโve misunderstood the saying, โTime waits for nobody.โ
This things is, ๐๐๐ข๐ isnโt refusing to wait. It was never waiting in the first place.
The strange part is, we talk about time as if itโs moving.

But has time ever really moved? Or have we mistaken our movement through time for timeโs movement? The Earth spins. The planets keep moving. Our bodies grow older. Memories build up. Life keeps happening. Everything changes. Yet we keep saying time is the one thatโs moving. Maybe weโre the ones moving. We never actually experience the past, we only remember it. We never experience the future, we only imagine it. The only thing youโve ever truly touchedโฆ is the present. Yesterday only exists as memories in our mind. Tomorrow only exists as thoughts about what might happen. The present is the only place life has ever happened. Which makes me wonderโฆ
Maybe life isnโt a race against time. Maybe itโs a relationship with the present and maybe the greatest tragedy isnโt that time passes. Itโs that many of us stop living long before it does. Maybe weโve misunderstood time our entire lives. It never moved. We did.

Some of you were 20 when you entered uni. Some of you, at 20, werenโt even as bold or confident as you are now. Some of you couldnโt even look a man or woman straight in the eye.
Wait! How do you expect an average 20 year old Nigerian girl to think or behave? Yโall are cr*zy.
Some of you are no longer 20, yet youโre judging a 20 year old based on your current stage of life, forgetting that she was just 20.
Some of you are past 25 now, but at 20, you made decisions that, if you think back today, youโd probably cringe at OR is it because your own bad decisions didnโt cost you your life that you now find it easy to judge her? Some of you are still making worse decisions even now.
Before you blame that girl, ask yourself: At 20, what was my level of maturity? How did I reason? How much did I really know about life?
The fact that your first instinct is to blame the victim instead of condemning the rap*st says a lot about you.
