Time Is a Mystery: The Stillness of the Past, and the Movement of the Present

in Reflections6 months ago
  1. What if time didn’t exist, would we even realize how much we have grown or changed?

  2. Why do some memories feel like yesterday, even after so many years?

  3. Can a place hold onto a piece of who we were from the past?

  4. Have you ever been surprised by how fast or how slow time seems to pass?

  5. What makes time feel real? Is it the ticking of a clock or the changes in our lives?

  6. Does everything have to change to prove that time has passed?

  7. How would you know it’s been years, if no one ever told you the date?

All these questions arises because of a place i visited early this year and something occurred and I couldn't find a word for it until now "mystery of time". It’s strange how time can feel so real and yet feel like nothing at all, it was like i visited the past at that moment.

So the story was that i went back to a place I hadn’t been to for over six years and for me that's a very long time and honestly, I didn’t even realize how long it has been until I sat down and thought about it and what surprised me the most was that the place looked exactly the same, smell the same way, the streets, the walls, even the sky that evening and it all felt like I had just been there yesterday and to be honest, i couldn't comprehend what i was thinking at that moment because six whole years passed by and yet in that moment, it felt like no time had passed at all and i was also thinking if i visited the past like i time travelled to the past.

I was once a science student back in highschool and i had learned and also heard been that time really is relative. It can fly or crawl or even disappear and it can make us feel like a moment or a lifetime depending on what’s going on in our hearts or in our braidn. That’s why date and keeping memories are important and that's why i love taking pictures of everywhere i have been to because If there was no time, how would I even know it had been up to a whole six years? Without time, I wouldn’t have appreciated how much I’ve changed or grown since then if i didn't keep memories of each day.

In that same week, I spent time doing some beautiful things that reminded me how powerful the present moment is

I spent time with my family because some still stay here and this was our first home after most moved from our home town and just being silly and taking photos with the youngest in our family and this i would show him probably in the next 6 years to show him how far he has come
