THE TIME WILL PASS ANYWAY

life lessons from a TikTok comment

It’s not often that I expect to stumble upon such profundity during my daily doomscroll. I’m there, primarily, to switch off a little bit; to riffle through the beginnings of a full moon meditation
*scroll*
to learn what the fashion girlies wore to work this week
*scroll*
to watch strangers give me a tour of the kitchen they started renovating as a passion project before it became 3 months of arguments and takeaway, but look wasn’t it all worth it in the end.

*scroll*

I can’t remember what the video was. I have tried to find it since, but it has been lost in a sea of too quick decisions, hasty swipes surrendering videos to the eternal ether.
Beneath the AWOL video, a comment;

‘this is gonna take 3 years’

and beneath that, a gorgeously simple response;

‘the time will pass anyway’

The time will pass anyway. 5 words I haven’t been able to get out of my head since.
