Time: the healer and the killer

Time. The clock itself is a mere representation of time. What is time? A bundle of moments that are soon to become memories. Right now, this moment, you are reading this article, and once you’re done this will all be a memory, hopefully a useful one.

Time is not such a loyal friend, in fact time has no friends. It will be whatever the moment asks of it to be. Today time can be on your side, tomorrow it will choose the opposite. One thing time will always teach you, though, is to never take it for granted. No matter what side it chooses to be on, YOU can make it useful. Sometimes, it won’t really allow you to make your own choice, but you will always get the hang of it “some other time”.

Time can be two things; a healer and a killer. I will not be all dreamy about it and tell you that you can choose for time to always be your healer, because BULLSHIT. But I can tell you that after time chooses to be your killer, it will soon rescue you.

The Killer

Time will kill you when waiting for that one moment of peace…

It will suffocate you when you are longing for someone’s presence…

It will murder your breath when you are looking for a speck of hope…

It will feed on your blood when you need just another second…

It will carry away your heartbeats when you want to know what’s next…

But mostly it will suck the life out of you when you’ve lost a loved one.

And then it will exchange characters, and turn into your friend

The Healer

Time will embrace you when you need a few minutes of it…

It will kiss your heartache away if you gave it the chance…

It will teach you that taking it slow will help you make it…

It will show you that without it beauty will not prevail…

That if it wasn’t for it, the sun wouldn’t rise again,

The trees wouldn’t grow, and the flowers wouldn’t blossom,

That when time passes by it will take away with it nearly all your pain,

And most importantly, time is the only healer that can make you smile again.
