Where Did I Go?
Open Time For Sale
When time opens up, the first instinct is often to fill it with something easy like scrolling, distracting, waiting for the hours to pass. But I keep asking myself: what if I treated this open space as an invitation instead? An invitation to create, to focus, to breathe life into the things I keep saying I’ll get to "someday”.
For me, that thing is this blog. I’ve carried it in my mind for too long, and now I want to spend these opened-up hours finally building it out in the open. It’s not just about writing, it’s the whole process of curating images, brainstorming TikToks, crafting captions, and finding creative ways to engage with an audience (or even discover one in the first place). Each piece takes thought, energy, and intention, but together they shape this space into something real, something that reflects me. While my life has been busy with LSAT at the same time, I know there’s so much more I want to explore topics I’ve only skimmed the surface of. Philosophy, lifestyle, imagination, friendship, all the conversations I’ve been waiting to have but haven’t had the time to dive into properly. That’s what excites me most about these open hours: the chance to finally go deeper.
I’ve also been trying new things, like teaching myself little DIY projects. I have started a quilt project, doing my own nails, and getting into legos. Each project feels like a small reminder that I can create beauty and usefulness with my own two hands. It’s empowering fun , and it makes me want to lean into the creative side of myself even more.
Time has a way of revealing who we really are. How we spend it quietly shows what we value most. What we’re willing to nurture, protect, and invest in. Time is like a window into someone’s character, a reflection of what matters when distractions fall away. And every open moment offers me a choice: to look through that window and step toward what I care about, or to walk past and let it close. I don’t want to keep walking past. This blog deserves my attention. My ideas deserve to live outside my head. And maybe these windows of time aren’t just gifts, they’re reminders. Reminders that if I don’t honor them, they will eventually stay closed.
Time has a way of quietly revealing who we are. It’s easy to say we care about certain things: dreams, projects, relationships. But the truth shows up in where our hours actually go. How we spend our time is the most honest reflection of what we value. If I pour my time into endless scrolling or procrastination, then maybe what I value in those moments is comfort or escape. But when I choose to spend it writing, creating, connecting, or learning, that shows I value growth, creativity, and the people around me.
Time is like a mirror, but also like a window. A mirror because it reflects my choices back at me, and a window because it lets me see who I could become if I step through it. Every open pocket of time feels like an invitation: do I honor it by investing in the things that matter most to me, or do I let it slip away?
So this reflection brings me here, to a choice: to treat time not as something to kill, but as something to cultivate. This blog deserves my attention. My ideas deserve to live outside my head. And I deserve to see what happens when I fully show up for the things I care about most and now, I am sick…. GREAT!
