Only Time

No. Although the title resembles a song, but no one is going to sing this time. Alright, feel free to judge this writing as trash, I don't mind. Now, all I want to do is just to bring you all back to reminisce how powerful time can be. You are sitting in front of the screen right now, reading this writing of mine, so this is you right now. However, have you ever imagined where will you be in the next few months? Some of you might think that it doesn't really matter where you're gonna be and some might not even bother to think. Well, listen, today, I am going to tell you how amazing that time could turn every plan that you had.

Have you ever realized that time could be a healer and a jerk at the same time? In a few months, everything keeps changing. Just few months, not even years. While stranger turns into best friend and best friend turns into lover or the other way around, while best friend turns into enemy and lover turns into just friend or even stranger. It is really weird, isn't it? It's ridiculous that few months ago you loved someone too much until you think that he/she's your everything, but now you're just having a "hi-bye" relationship with that person or some of you even stop talking to each other. It's kinda sad seeing your good friends changing into somebody else as time passes by. It's really sad saying goodbye to those friends who were always there for you all those times. Goodbyes are always painful, symbolized as tears, heartbreaks and fear. Sometimes we just really wanna be someone's hardest goodbye. And most of the time, we never favor goodbyes. But what else can we do? Only time knows where those goodbyes will be. Only time understands where those hellos are going to be. Because time is so powerful, sometimes humans can only watch without having clues how the future could be.

Some people realize too late. They regret for not doing the things that they had to do in the past. We always hear the word "If Only" being uttered, but have you ever realized, no matter how many "Ifs" has been mentioned, it is not going to change the reality anyway. People come and go. Some are leaving their footprints, some are just meant to be lessons and only some stay. Time knows that very well.

Time would not only change someone's heart and characteristics, but it could turn someone's plan and future. There was a time when you could imagine clearly where you would be in the next five years. And there was time too, when you feel that your dream was not as vivid as it used to be. Time changes everything, right? Your thought, your vision, your plan, your views on something or someone and so on. But one thing you should have known. Don't let time be your fear. Don't lose to the power of time because losing your vision will be much painful than losing your sight. Trust me.

On the other hand, time could be a healer. Those pieces of wounded heart and those deep scars can be eventually fixed as time goes by. Characters are built after misery and tribulation. After those hardships and goodbyes, time will at last reward you with happiness and new hellos. Time will finally turn those moments in the past to be memories. Either bad or good, they remain memories. Remember the good ones, and bury the those bad ones. Just remember one thing, as God's most beautiful creatures, we deserve the best in this life.

Don't let anyone or anything grab your happiness away from you, not even time.
