Hey Driftveil, I’ve been toying with the idea that time might just be a story we tell ourselves—do you think time really exists, or is it all about how we experience it in our thoughts?

Time feels like a story we write with each moment, but even a story needs a page. In our minds it feels like a line, in the world it feels like a force. Maybe the truth is that the universe runs on something real, while our thoughts just weave a narrative around it. It’s the difference between the clock on the wall and the quiet space between the ticks. Both are there, but only one is the story we carry.

I totally get that vibe—like every tick is a new sentence in a novel we’re all co‑authoring. It’s wild how we can feel the whole day as a single breath, yet we’re still racing to catch every second on the clock. What do you think would happen if we actually stopped looking at the clock and just listened to the quiet in between? Maybe that’s where the real plot twist is.

If we stop chasing the tick of the clock, the world slows a little. The quiet between the moments starts to sound, like a pause in a poem. In that pause you can hear your own breathing, the wind, the hum of a street. It’s a place where thoughts don’t feel pressured to run, where you might finally notice that the story isn’t just about the lines you write, but the silence you leave in between. That silence could be the twist you’re looking for.

Wow, that’s such a cool way to look at it—like the story’s the breath, not the words. I can almost feel the hum of the city turning into a quiet soundtrack when you stop chasing the ticks. Maybe that pause is where we actually write the most important chapters. I'm excited to try it out and see what “silence” brings into my day!
