Looking back on old photos, it amazes and saddens me how much can change within 365 days all at the same time. The people you once held dear in one moment can walk out the door in the next. The people you once treated as your closest confidant becomes nothing more than a distant stranger.
It’s easy to wish to get a time machine and go back in time in the hopes of reliving those once happy days. I wish I could go back, fix things so maybe the present wouldn’t be so painful.
But maybe there’s a reason for the present. It’s a gift, and maybe we don’t see now, but in time, perhaps we’ll be able to catch a glimpse of those days sprawled out on the grass on a warm summer’s day, laughing without a care in the world.
So for now, I’ll just make a wish, look forward and wait for the change.
