One of the best and cruelest things I have learned over the past year is time. Time encompasses every aspect of our lives. It dictates our past, present, and our futures. It determines what we do today, and how we plan tomorrow. It sounds simple enough, but it is the reason that life is so hard.
Time has given me a second chance at life. It doesn't mend, but it makes our difficulties a little more tolerable. It gives us the opportunity to grow and to change. It gives us life.
Yet, time is also the factor that holds me back. Time does not stop when life is cast into oblivion. Time can not stop so that you can mourn your past. Time will not slow when you need a chance to mend.
If only for a moment, I wish that time would stand still so that I can mourn, heal, and begin to live again. But, for now I will fall back into time, and continue my life as it is scheduled to be.
