The Thing About Time.

People have a weird concept of time, equating it to clarity, healing and loss. I have been amidst it and I have often seen it from afar and the truth is that time really does nothing for you except for passing. The thing about time good or bad is that it passes regardless of anything or anyone and once the moment has passed  it serves you no purpose. Only memories, lessons and regrets separated from you by decades, years, months and days. But if you’re not willing to move on yourself even after time passes often you find yourself exactly where you were, and I for one can vouch for that. For most of my life even when there was nothing left to save or hold on too, I would stay, years later with an amputated heart I would stay exactly where I was left holding on to time, that had already passed. I have seen time as the enemy taking away everything I have ever loved, for moving too fast but only with that realization I have started to measure time not with hours rather moments. On days’ time feels like my enemy, I try to look at it as my friend. Giving me the opportunity to grow, to learn, to cherish what and whom I hold in this moment because it takes just one moment for you to lose everything to my dear friend, time. So, I am learning to see time as a museum where I place my memories and only revisit when I’m strong enough to without ripping my heart out and being thankful for taking care of the memories and lessons when I was not willing too. People say, ‘ Time heals everything’ but now that I am twenty three and I still miss loved ones lost to death, friends went far by distance &  indifference and expectations laughing back as disappointments I am not willing to hand over my burdens to time, a mere concept of progression of events from past to future. How can I hand this mere concept, all my life just because I am not willing to take responsibility of it. I no longer see time as a balm rather it is snow. While it may burry all your griefs, memories, lessons and regrets deeper with every moment on a random day it will also melt. Exposing them to us like unhealed wounds to heat. Longer the time deeper they are buried but it all melts, it all melts whether you choose to revisit or not and in that moment I hope I choose where I stand in life, and not the time that has passed by.
