ode to time
December 27, 2015
Time isn't the enemy.
Time isn’t an enemy.
Time is a friend that should be
wholeheartedly embraced.
It makes moments-
the ones you never want to end-
finite.
It makes them worth remembering
specifically because
they do not last.
Time will continue even if you do not.
It's harsh ways keep people
from feeling scars as
fresh wounds. Instead,
it fades.
The pain fades.
It’s a pinch, instead of a bullet that
tears your ribcage into splinters.
It’s survivable pain.
The past is the past
and the present isn't so unbearable.
The past is the past
and the future is bright.

I spend a lot of time thinking about time (I'm punny) and I've realized time is everybody's best friend because it makes everything that burns and stabs dissapear into memories and everything that shines and sparkles dominate and fuel people towards passion. I think time is important because it seperates the good and bad like a knife. It was best said in a bad Brad Pitt movie (by Brad Pitt) “The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.”
