CULTURAL MOMENT 🍅
This phrase is over 2,000 years old. It started in Latin, crossed into Spanish, traveled across an ocean, and it's still being said today at family dinners, in offices, in text messages, and at front doors all over the Spanish-speaking world. That kind of staying power doesn't happen by accident.
It survives because it tells the truth about something every human being experiences: the gap between when you meant to do something and when you actually did it. We all live in that gap sometimes.
The phrase doesn't pretend that gap doesn't exist. It just says, gently and practically, that arriving matters more than when you arrive.
