“I’m not quite sure if life is passing me by or trying to run me over.”
Sometimes a few words are enough to shift the way we see the day.
This one hit me like… well, like a speeding metaphor.
Some mornings I wake up and feel behind before I’ve even started. The dishes didn’t wash themselves, my inbox multiplied overnight like gremlins, and the to-do list looks more like a scroll that unrolls dramatically across the floor.
There’s a subtle but important difference between feeling like time is slipping away and feeling like it’s out to get you.
The first? That’s FOMO. The second? That’s full-on existential dodgeball.
But what helps me most is naming the feeling. Writing it down. Giving it form so it doesn’t feel like it owns me. That’s the power of a daily thought like this—it invites you to pause, take inventory, and maybe smile a little through the chaos.
