"Dans peu de temps tu auras tout oublié dans peu de temps tout t'aura oublié"

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you have a big argument with a friend. Right now, it feels like the end of the world, and all you can think about is how angry you are. But in a few days, maybe a week, the emotions fade. You might even forget what started the argument. Similarly, think about an old toy you used to love as a kid. Over time, you stopped playing with it and moved on. The toy's importance vanished, and it stays forgotten in a box. This idea shows that feelings, events, and even people seem very important at the moment, but eventually, they lose their significance. Time changes everything, and what matters now won't matter as much in the future. It reminds us not to stress too much about things because their importance will fade. So, when you're upset or worried, try to remember that these feelings will pass and won't always feel so big. This can help you stay calm and not let today's problems overwhelm you.
