think of spacetime as an X/Y graph

x is space, y is time.

all objects move through spacetime at C (the speed of causality) which is the maximum velocity that the effects of a cause can propagate through spacetime.

if an object is only moving through space, then its velocity through the X axis is C: this is a photon,

if an object isnt moving through space at all, then all of its velocity is through the time axis. (this is you sitting at home bored, time just flies)

but an object that is moving rapidly through the x axis necessarily has to subtract velocity from the Y axis, and the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time, because your “actual” velocity through spacetime is fixed at C.
