I have always wished that I could have the power to change back time, but life isn't as magical as I want it to be. There are no wizards, no magic, no mana tree... People say that whatever happens, happens for a reason and makes us who we are today. And for the most part that is true, but who doesn't want to go back and redo or avoid some moments?
Today, I went through my old diaries and weblogs (xanga, myspace) and realized that there are so many moments missing from my life. I started from writing everyday in my diary about trivial things to rarely writing anything. I mean, I could go back and write what I do remember about a certain event, but it won't be the same as being in the moment and feeling those emotions at that time. It's sad because if somehow I lost my memory or became senile, I won't have anything tangible to help refresh my memory. I'll have my pictures, but it will only be a picture book without a story.
As much as I want it to slow down or stop, time will keep ticking away. Looking back on the past, I realize how fast time flies; all that is left to do is to reminisce on those moments, good or bad, and to move forward with the future.
And the world around us won't stop turning
