Time feels different now.
It doesn’t scare me,
but it keeps reminding me of itself.
Days pass quietly.
Weeks disappear without memory.
I’m not panicking,
but I feel like I’m slowly falling behind.
What would an ossan think about time?
Ossan’s answer
An ossan doesn’t feel chased by time.
He feels watched by it.
When you are young,
time feels generous.
When you fail once,
time becomes precise.
Not cruel.
Just honest.
An ossan learns this:
Time doesn’t pressure you to move faster.
It pressures you to move truthfully.
That’s why it feels uncomfortable.
You start noticing
how much time is spent
maintaining explanations
instead of making decisions.
An ossan doesn’t ask,
“How much time do I have left?”
He asks,
“What am I using time to avoid right now?”
Time doesn’t disappear.
Excuses do.
When that happens,
movement becomes possible again.
Not dramatic.
Just real.
An ossan would stop here.
Not because there is nothing more to say,
but because saying more would make it advice.
