time turner


He gave me a pocket watch as a constant reminder of how much time passes. For me, time is something no one can change. You cannot bring back what's lost. You cannot go back, you can only move forward while you reminisce about the past. It is a symbol, the gravity that holds people, reality, and history together. 


I imagine myself floating back to the time when everything was perfect. But it was too long ago. I'm afraid that if I closed my eyes too tight for too long, I might never find my way back. I might not want to go back.

Before the end of last year, I decided to just let it be. To wait until every thing returns to normal, until wounds won't hurt anymore, until my heart starts beating (again) because of happiness and not only because it has to. Life has given me so much pain and I guess it's time to learn from them. It will never be easy, but I hope you will stay with me till I'm strong enough to tell you 'it's alright'.

  1. The time never come back again, all we can do it make best of present time which is in our hands.

  2. Yes, our past is lost to us... You just have to look forward. Keep smiling and hoping that tomorrow will be better. :)

  3. I used to live in my memories, and I became a ghost. So I stopped, and I came alive again. It's better to accept that things will never be as good as they once were, and try to make the present moment beautiful instead. It will be alright, I truly believe in you. x

  4. Your watch is lovely! I adore pocketwatches. You're right - dwelling in the past will only hold us back. I hope your tomorrows are as beautiful as your smiling face. I am here with you for as long as you want me to be. :)

  5. This was an amazing post.

    Have you ever looked up the "Ulysses Club of New Zealand"? They're what makes me excited at the prospect of continuing to age. (I feel like such a crone already compared to most people on Blogger and at work!)

    Lots and lots of love to you!

  16. Sometimes the best thing to do to heal the wounds is to let it pass with time. I love your pocket watch ganda. And your pictures are fabulous. Vintage is love.

  17. There are moments when we wish time would just stop,so we could stay longer at someone else's arms and feel the warmth of their embrace.
    and then sometimes we also wish it would fly faster, so our wounds would heal and painful thoughts would disappear.♥
    I think time is magical. Yes,we often take it for granted but time itself could bring a huge change in our lives.

    I love the way you write. I can tell u're really passionate. :)

It feels like my heart has been bewitched by you and is keeping track of time on it's own.
