Time Tells a Story

My life through time

Sometimes it is not about you

It’s Not About You — And That’s the Truth

No truer words have ever been spoken:
It’s not about you.

I’ve been struggling for months — emotionally, mentally, internally — and today, something shifted.

Oh my God… it’s really not about you.

For the longest time, I’ve wrestled with feelings rooted in selfishness, in thinking everything revolved around how others treated me or didn’t show up for me. But I finally saw it clearly:

It’s not all about me.

The truth is, everyone is fighting their own unseen battles. Most people aren’t even thinking about you — not out of malice, but because they’re buried in their own storms.

We all live in our own little bubbles, shaped by pain, stress, trauma, or whatever chaos life is throwing at us. And today, I learned something that brought this full circle.

I found out what my sister has been going through — and it’s nothing I ever imagined. The depth of her pain and what she’s been carrying left me speechless. It made me realize just how much we don’t know about the people we think we know best.
