In the End, Only Time Will Tell
But That Doesn’t Mean We Sit Idly as the Seconds Drift Away, Soon to be Forgotten
“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”
― Andy Warhol
Time is an illusory concept, a man-made one at that, and the longer the seconds morph themselves into oblivion unnoticed, the longer “change” looms in the future, awaiting to be held. While it’s true that time reveals destinies — the secrets of the future — it’s also equally true that man creates destinies, designing his life alongside the ticking of the clock.
Some say “time heals all wounds,” but I beg to differ. Time doesn’t heal! No, not at all: it is we who heal ourselves, when our hearts need stitched back together or perhaps, our bodies, so fragile and weak at times. Healing takes effort and work that can be oh so difficult but worth it in due time.
Some say they “don’t have time,” suggesting others do indeed have more time than they. This too is bullshit, for time cannot be obtained or taken or received or even, gifted. Time can’t be elongated or shifted or reversed or even, stopped. Time especially can’t be had, since it’s always there, and that’s a gift in and of itself, for those lucky enough to realize.
