Time is not Enough

Just like the good old saying goes, “Time is more precious than a thousand lumps of glittering diamonds.” Time is like a rightful destiny that can never be reversed nor stopped by any mortal breathing on this world full of miseries. Strangely but true, I always dream of going back in time to correct my ill-laden mistakes on the past. I somehow wished that I will have a magnificent time machine that can go back in time when I was still a small, naughty kid in the neighborhood. A famous proverb says that “to err is human, to forgive is divine” but too much mistakes is not normal but rather a shameful one. That is why I am totally ashamed of my wrong doings in the past for I have hurt several human individuals due to the “frigidness” of my self. I was very insensitive and inconsiderate to the feelings of other people around me during my younger years. So as to correct those errors I have done in the past, I have realized that going reverse in time I would definitely change those mistakes.

If I accidentally rub a magic lamp and a so-called genie comes out, I would definitely ask that genie for a single yet a meaningful wish. My one and only wish is that I would go back in time when I was just a little rascal and my grandparents were still alive. Honestly, I was not able to show my love to them because I was still a mischievous child when they were still on my eyes. They were the ones who cared for me during my childhood days, days that were filled with their love and happiness. I admit that I was not able to show to them my love and that they were important persons in my life. If I can possibly travel back in time, I would surely tell them how important they are to me for they brought joy, happiness and color to darkness-shadowed life. I always reminisce those good old times when my Lolo was the one who fixes my not-so-good-quality toys, and my Lola who spanks me in the butt every time she realizes that my clothes are very dirty after playing in our backyard along with my neighbors.

Thinking back again, I am a guy full of regrets. I always think every second of my damn life that I would had a better destiny right now if I just made the right choices along the path. But life is not just about regrets but more on the happy side. I know I am just human and it is really hard to be me. I somehow overcame those mistakes in the past and I hope that I will never foolishly do those again. Apparently, I disagree with the adage “don’t bring back the past and try to forgive” because it is not easy to forget the past especially if it had a big impact on your life. Just like the song Superman goes, “I am only a man with a funny red sheet and its not easy to be me.”
