Fall Back to Save Time

Sometimes you gotta fall back to save time.

I'm falling back to save time. And it doesn't have to be that season. Sometimes you still gotta fall back.

Why? Why stay in somebody's face playing games?

That's one thing I love about nature. You ever been out in the desert when that sun is beating down? It's hot. You're wishing there was just one tree for shade. That's relief.

But there's another kind of shade. Shade from people. That ain't organic.

That's why I had to fall back. Whether it's that season or not, you have to recognize and read the room. Because falling back can save misunderstandings, friendships, even frenemies.

But the point is to be intentional.

Some places don't let you go back in time. So be mindful where you spend yours.
