FaceThyFear Track of the Day: A Dual Reflection on Recovery

**"Time Flies" by Kohei Yoshii & "Day One" by jüle.**

Recovery is a journey of paradoxes—moments that stretch endlessly and others that vanish in the blink of an eye. Some days, it feels like we’ve come so far; others, like we’re still standing at the threshold of change. Today’s *FaceThyFear Track of the Day* is a tie between two songs that embody these contrasting yet complementary emotions: **"Time Flies" by Kohei Yoshii** and **"Day One" by jüle.**

**"Time Flies" – The Weight of Reflection**

Kohei Yoshii’s "Time Flies" captures the surreal passage of time, a theme deeply intertwined with the recovery process. Sobriety warps our sense of time—years lost in addiction feel like a blur, yet every sober moment can be painfully clear. The instrumental layers in this track move like a cityscape at dusk, mirroring the way memories flood back once the fog lifts.

Listening to *Time Flies* feels like watching the past unfold from a distance. It reminds us of everything we’ve left behind, the mistakes we can’t take back, but also the lessons we’ve gained. In early recovery, we’re often caught between nostalgia and regret—mourning the time wasted while trying to make up for it all at once. But recovery teaches us that time is not our enemy. It’s a gift. And every moment we spend dwelling on the past is another moment we could be using to build something new.

**"Day One" – The Power of Now**

While "Time Flies" forces us to reflect, *Day One* by jüle. pulls us into the present. The title alone speaks to something every person in recovery understands: the power of starting over. Whether it’s *Day One* of sobriety or *Day One* of a new challenge, this track embodies the quiet strength in beginning again.

There’s a stillness to the melody, an almost meditative quality, like taking a deep breath on a mountaintop after climbing through the storm. It speaks to the resilience of those who have fought to reclaim their lives. The most powerful part of this song isn’t about how far we’ve come—it’s about how far we’re willing to go. Recovery isn’t about being perfect or even having it all figured out. It’s about waking up each day and choosing to keep going, no matter how many times we’ve stumbled before.

**Recovery Through Sound: Two Sides of the Same Coin**

These two tracks—one looking back, the other looking forward—reflect the tension that exists in all of us. Recovery is about learning to sit with the past without letting it define the future. It’s about honoring the time lost while making the most of the time ahead.

If you’re in recovery, you’ve probably felt both of these extremes. The regret and the hope. The weight of time and the freedom of starting fresh. Let today’s *FaceThyFear Track of the Day* serve as a reminder: the past may be unchangeable, but *right now* is yours to shape.
