Have you ever felt like time is just flying by?
And then someone asks, “What did you do Tuesday? Or last Wednesday? Or a month ago?”
…and you come up blank.

People usually shrug and say, “Time flies when you’re having fun.”
But is that actually true?

I think time flies the most when we’re bored—
when we’re not fully present, not making memories, just going through the motions.
Wake up. Work. Scroll. Repeat.
Your brain is awake, but your life is on autopilot.

There’s a reason we say “making” memories and not “having” memories.
Memories take intention. They take attention.
Sure, the brain catalogs everything—but unless it’s meaningful, it gets tossed into that giant mental junk drawer labeled “just another day.”

Trying to retrieve those moments later is like trying to find that one cat video you swiped past too fast—good luck digging it back out of the algorithm.

So when someone says “time flies when you’re having fun,” they’re sort of joking.
Time doesn’t fly when you’re having fun.
When you’re having fun, time feels full, thick, slow, rich.
You remember it.

Time flies when you’re not having fun—
when nothing stands out enough to anchor your mind to the moment.

If you want your days to feel unique…
If you want your life to feel long, full, and lived…
If you want November 24, 2025 to get its own little file instead of disappearing into the folder that just says “my life”…

You have to make memories.
You have to notice.
Reach for the small moments.
Pay attention to the things that make today different from every other Tuesday in your life.

No, this doesn’t mean every day has to be bungee jumping or life-or-death excitement.
But every day has something unique in it—
a conversation, a person, a laugh, a color in the sky, a thought, a choice.

Some weeks will still blur together, and that’s okay.
Boredom isn’t fatal.
But a mundane life—a life where every year looks exactly like the last—that’s a choice.

So the next time someone says,
“Time flies when you’re having fun,”
you might gently correct them:

Time flies when you’re going through the motions.
When you’re truly having fun… time stands still.

We are all broken. But it isn’t the fact that we are broken that defines us—it’s what we do with that brokenness that shapes the kind of person we become.

It does not matter who broke us or how we were broken. Placing blame changes nothing. Holding onto that blame only keeps us stuck. Healing can never begin when all our energy is spent pointing fingers.

You can ignore the cracks. Pretend they aren’t there. But people will see them. Your behavior will show them. The anger, the fear, the hurt—whatever negative emotions slip through those cracks—will leak out.

You can lean into your brokenness and use it as an excuse, spreading negativity to everyone around you because you’re broken. Or… you can work on repairing, healing, and growing.

Will you ever be completely unbroken? Not really. Just as the Japanese art of kintsugi doesn’t erase a bowl’s history but fills its cracks with gold, you will never return to the state of never having been broken. But you will carry a new kind of beauty—one that is seen and appreciated by those who recognize it.

Not everyone will. That’s the nature of art: it is always in the eye of the beholder. Some will overlook it. But to the right people, your healed soul will be breathtakingly beautiful. And to the wrong people—well, it won’t matter anyway.

You Don’t Have to Be “Important” to Be Important

This might sound a little strange or come out of the blue, but here’s something I’ve been sitting with lately:

I like to feel important.
Not in a flashy, spotlight sort of way—but in the quiet sense of feeling essential. Like I matter. Like I’d be missed if I weren’t there.

Lately, though, I’ve felt a little on the outside.
A little stuck.
A little… not essential.

It’s a humbling and uncomfortable feeling.
But here's the truth that’s been unfolding for me:
You don’t have to be important to be important.

We live in a world that pushes us to prove our worth constantly—to be seen, liked, needed. Social media feeds that hunger, giving us a little dopamine hit with every like, comment, or share. It makes us feel like we matter—if only for a moment.

But what if being important isn’t about recognition at all?

What if it’s about showing up?
Doing your best, even when no one sees it?
Being present for your people, your work, your life—whether or not it earns applause?

Because every time you show up—whether it’s at work, with your family, in your relationships, in your self-care—you make a difference. Maybe not a dramatic one. Maybe not one anyone ever says thank you for. But it matters. You matter.

And sometimes, just being there is more powerful than we realize.
