The Journey I'd Revisit.

If it were possible for me to travel through time, there are a lot of instances I'm thinking of, but then, one did stood out to. That was the time when illness had the best part of me. I was in the hospital for years. It was a time i never thought would end. I would wake up each and everyday in the same position, in pain and all. I've forgotten how to be happy, what friendships looked like and even how food tastes. Most of us never take those moments with gratitude, but then, some of us really knows what it means since there was a time we lost them.

So, if I could travel through time, I wouldn't be going back there to erase those memories off, I wouldn't go there to stop that kind of experience, no. I will go there to encourage and inspire that version of myself who's lying down on he bed with bedsore, who's tired, sick and has gotten used to pain. I would tell him not to lose hope, that he will definitely survive it, that he would write his story someday and that he should take note of every moment, because it matters. I would look myself in the eye as that version of me stared in the ceiling, I would tell him to cry when need be, to scream if that would ease him of some pain, and to be afraid I'd he's scared.

Looking at it now, I wouldn't want to erase those times, as those are what adds up together to shape me into who I am and what I do today—such as showing kindness, helping, giving out, nurturing friendships, appreciating life and all. Sincerely, I'm happy I went through such, even though back then it wasn't something to be happy about, but now, I'm happy overcame and most importantly is how it has also helped me see life differently and understand things more.

So, if I could go back in time, I wouldn't chose the future, but the past. I would go back to the past, cause I feel time travel isn't just about changing times/moments/things, but also about trusting that someday you will look back at those things you survived and has helped you become more than you could imagine.
