The Trade We Can't Avoid
<p><br/></p><p>Funny thing about life, we act like death is far away, but every choice we make is already a trade with time we will never get back. Seconds, hours, days, gone whether we spent them well or not. That is the real deal we are all making, our time for our story.</p><p><br/></p><p>We all know we will die, but we live like it is gist about somebody else. So we push joy aside, delay passion, and keep saying “later” as if later is guaranteed. That small lie helps us cope, but it also makes us waste what should matter most.</p><p><br/></p><p>If everyone was handed a wallet of days at birth, we would be more careful spenders. You would not just burn hours on petty arguments, endless scrolling, or things that do not matter. You would probably ask yourself, what did I really trade an hour of my life for yesterday, and was it worth it?</p><p><br/></p><p>Most times the trades we make are bad. We choose comfort over growth, skip the hard talk, or stay safe instead of trying something bold. We give our phones more attention than the people we love. We sacrifice today for tomorrow, hustling for a future that might never feel enough, while the present keeps running out.</p><p><br/></p><p>The truth is we cannot avoid spending time, but we can spend it better. An hour of Netflix costs an hour of life. Time put into health, love, or learning pays back in ways distraction never will. And remembering you are mortal is not to be dark, but to be clear. Every day is non refundable.</p><p><br/></p><p>Death is not far. It is sitting quietly at the table while we make our deals. The only power we have is to spend our coins with sense, not on scraps of distraction, but on moments that actually add up to a life we will not regret.<br/><br/><img alt="time is slipping and i'm just here, thinking..." src="/media/inline_insight_image/image_2025-08-29_11-46-15.jpg"/></p>
