When you are afraid,

You have wasted time.

Time is tender.

And when you pour yours into something that didn't become what you hoped,

It hurts.

You look back and wonder,

Did I waste it?

Did I wait too long?

Was all of that for nothing?

But listen,

Wasted time is a myth created by people who only value outcomes.

You are not a machine.

You are a soul unfolding.

You are learning,

Becoming,

Testing the weight of different dreams so you could feel what didn't fit.

Yes,

Maybe some chapters closed without answers.

Maybe the season lasted longer than it should have.

But that doesn't mean it was worthless.

That means you stayed.

You tried.

You were human enough to hope.

That calls for something.

And maybe,

Just maybe,

None of it was lost.

Maybe it all shaped the way you now walk through the world.

More awake.

More honest.

More you.

So if regret is sitting with you right now,

Let it speak.

But don't let it define the story.

Time is still yours,

Right here,

Right now,

Not as a depth,

But as a doorway.

You didn't miss your moment.

This moment is yours.
