“Time is how you spend your love”
— Zadie Smith
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you have a garden, and the more time you spend watering, weeding, and caring for it, the more beautiful and fruitful it becomes. This is similar to life and relationships. The way you choose to spend your hours and days—whether with family, friends, hobbies, or helping others—shows what you truly care about. Just as a well-tended garden thrives, investing time in the things and people you love makes those parts of your life flourish. For example, if you frequently spend time with a friend, it shows they are important to you, and your bond with them grows stronger. This saying reminds us that our time is the most valuable thing we have to offer, and where we choose to invest it reflects our deepest affections and priorities.
