“Yet” is a powerful word.
It turns pitiful into promise.
I never really thought about it
until today.
It was always:
“I can’t run as fast as them.”
“I can’t make all As.”
“I can’t shoot from the three point line.”
“I can’t make anymore friends.”
“I can’t afford anything.”
It’s just a list of problems,
what’s it gonna do?
Disappear?
I wish—
but no.
Instead of letting it sit there,
making me feel infinitely bad about myself,
I’ll change it.
“I can’t run as fast as them, yet.”
“I can’t make all As, yet.”
“I can’t shoot from the three point line, yet.”
“I can’t make anymore friends, yet.”
“I can’t afford anything, yet.”
Because “yet” isn’t just a word—
it’s a door.
One that opens up to infinite possibilities.
When you acknowledge that,
you finally found the key to the door.
