“Sorry Mom, I’m busy today.”
“Dad, I’m so sorry. I’m busy this whole week. Can we meet another time?”
“Babe, I’m busy this whole month. Could you please take the kids on vacation?”
“Guys, I don’t have time this year. Sorry.”
“Baby, why don’t you think about the future? Will you please stop asking if I care? Come on, babe. Can’t you see I’m doing all of this for us? Why are you like this?”
If I had known it would turn out like this, I wish I had never met you.
Look at how harsh you are. How cruel. How selfish and cold you can be.
You want your loved ones to see things through your eyes, but why can’t you try to see the world through theirs?
All they want is to spend time with you—to make memories and share their stories, their feelings, and their lives with you.
But you don’t have time to think about any of this.
If you wanted to be so busy, why did you bring someone into your life? Why did you waste their time?
None of your excuses can ever justify or replace the moments they simply wanted to share with you.
The pain we cause our loved ones can be unbearable.
Money can buy comfort, but it cannot buy back time, and it cannot buy every form of happiness.
While building your dream, you might just lose ours.
So please, make time for your family and friends today.
If you don’t reflect on your actions now, regret is all you may have left in the end.
I hope you take the time—starting now, and always.
