Shadow

I remember when I was first introduced to my shadow. I flipped. Spent a day trying to get rid of it.

It's still around.

Time

I didn't understand a lot of things as a child, but the one thing I could comprehend was time.

I gauged everyone and everything by time.

Time revealed everything to me. Time revealed those I loved and those I didn't; those worth fighting for and those that weren't. Time revealed them all.

I didn't know this before but now I do: time taught me everything I know.
