"¡Tiempo! ¡El presente! En estos, casi estoy inclinado a creer. Soy un místico escéptico."
— Fernando Pessoa

Simplified Meaning:
The speaker is saying they generally believe in the importance of the present moment and the flow of time, even though they often doubt or question things deeply. Imagine you are always thinking about the past or worrying about the future, but something amazing happens when you focus on what’s happening right now. For example, if you’re spending time with a friend, instead of thinking about other things, you pay attention to your friend and enjoy the moment. This brings happiness and meaning. Even if you usually question many things in life, believing in and appreciating the present moment can make your experiences richer. It’s like being a bit of a dreamer, but still finding value in what’s happening right now.
