Time will tell
We live in a world that never stops asking for answers. We want to know why something happened, why someone left, and why a door closed before we were ready. But life doesn’t always give explanations on command. Some truths reveal themselves only after we’ve had the space to breathe, heal, and look back with clearer eyes.
In the moment, everything feels urgent, unbearable even. We wrestle with questions that don’t have immediate responses. But with time, pieces start to fall into place. We begin to see how one ending made room for another beginning, or how what once felt like loss was actually leading us to something better. Perspective takes patience, and patience takes courage.
So when people say “time will tell,” it’s less about waiting passively and more about trusting the process of unfolding. Clarity does come, maybe not in the way we expect, but in ways that allow us to grow lighter, wiser, and more at peace. What feels heavy now will not always feel this way. Give it time.
All my love,
