Time Still Ticking Despite the Wait

Waking up today, I couldn’t shake off the strange feeling of that dream where I received a watch in a plain package.
No note, no explanation—just the ticking sound growing louder, as if it was counting down to something.
It’s funny how even after waking up, my mind keeps pacing back to that moment.
Sometimes I wonder if life itself is like that watch—waiting silently for its next cue while we run around busy with endless errands and hopes.
Just another reminder that maybe all we really need is a little pause to listen carefully before moving forward again.
