Greetings everyone, I’m Nishan Ahmed.
After a long time, I’ve returned to this beloved SciFi Multiverse community.
Today’s topic — “Time”
And this very word gave me the courage to finally speak the truth in my own voice.

Time...
For a long time, I was afraid of it.
Afraid — because I knew I was wasting it.
Sometimes I’d cry into my pillow at night,
Without any clear reason.
But in reality, the reason was always there —
The time I wasted doing nothing all day would sit like a thorn in my throat.
Every day, it felt like I was losing something,
But I couldn’t figure out what exactly.
Eventually, I got used to it —
To those little lies like:
“I’ll do it later.”
“Let me rest for a while.”
“There’s still time.”
Even while writing this post, I kept thinking,
“Maybe I’ll write it a little later… there’s still time.”
But in the blink of an eye, time runs out.
The same thing happened during my university admission.
I kept saying, “There’s still time, I’ll study later.”
And before I knew it, the exams began.
I wasn’t prepared.
I couldn’t get into the university I had dreamed of.
That’s when I realized —
Time slips away without making a sound.
That night, I looked into the mirror and asked myself —
“Who exactly are you fooling, Nishan? Time… or yourself?”

Even now, I’m not perfect.
I still have days when I just sit in the dark doing nothing.
But now there’s a difference —
I no longer ignore time.
I sit beside it. I look at it.
And I try to see myself the way time sees me.
Now, these are the things I see as a waste of time:
• Trying to please people who don’t understand my heart
• Scrolling endlessly until I fall asleep
• Overthinking things that only increase fear but offer no solution
• Treating my dreams like “side projects for my free time”
So now the question arises:
“Are these 24 hours enough for me?”
Not always.
On the days I’m focused, I get a lot done.
But on the days when mental exhaustion hits,
Time slips through my hands like water.
Still, I try.
Every day, I try to do at least one thing that helps build the person I want to become.
And on the days I finish my tasks,
I sit quietly —
Sometimes reading my old thoughts,
Sometimes dreaming up something new.
Time has changed me.
No, not in some dramatic way.
It came silently,
Through every quiet regret.
Now I know —
Time isn’t just ticking hands on a clock.
Time is how I’m shaping the person I’m becoming, day by day.
Hope you liked it.

Sometimes we need to waste time! Of course responsabilities first!!
Wasting time trying to please others is something I do not advise anyone to be involved in.
Sometimes we waste time and procrastinate due to our friends and this is why we keep dying ourselves so many things.
