Gravity, the force that pulls objects toward a planet's centre.
Just as gravity pulls, time teaches, and space is the room for experience that fuels growth.
Think of it this way. Time itself is the teacher, helping us understand complex concepts that initially seem far out of reach. And just as planets grow and change as they orbit through space, we expand as individuals, shaped by the room we give our learnings to flourish.
At our core, our lives are influenced by two key factors:
- Mass, the weight of our experiences
- Radius, how close we let those experiences sit to our core
The more we live, the heavier our personal gravity becomes. Over time, what once felt distant grows closer, and its impact intensifies. I guess that is why understanding often deepens later, not sooner. It could not have happened earlier. There was not enough mass yet.
Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time could teach.
A mistake only becomes a regret when one dwells long on it. That decision only needed enough experience to give it weight, time to let it pull meaningfully, enough space to stop resisting it.
To the journey of learning and becoming, embracing the flaws and flows that shape us into who we are meant to be.
