Time: Past and Present

It's been a year to the good. The national Cross Country Championships were today, and I guess I did not dare make my way down. It's been about a year since the start of the beginning of something I thought would last forever, but it ended in paradise lost.

April's going to be a month of reminiscing. So many parallels between these two years strike me as slightly disturbing. Birthdays, Cross Country events, and more... It's just like I'm reliving the experience all over again. I know I wished I could take back time, but now I think I know better. Time wasn't meant to be cyclic, but linear, but so often the reverse is the case. We experience the sense of deja vu in our lives; we find the lost pieces of others within ourselves.

And in 4 days, it'll be my turtle's first birthday. I think I share a strange form of affinity with my soft toys... Hmmm.

Sometimes I wish I could turn back time and make things right, and we could start life over. But the cruel fact is that life is linear, and that the cyclical repeat of events is but an illusion.

And it would be just the two of us living.
