don't you think time is a an ambiguous thing? we don't see it, we dont taste it, we dont smell it. sometimes we feel it, but sometimes we don't? a year may seem forever but at the same time it might feel like a blink of an eye. so many things can happen in a year or two, no? some might have a baby, others might suddenly be a millionaire, some might lose someone they love while others find their soulmate.
they say time heals all, but time also changes people - sometimes for the worse? but perhaps changing is inevitable.
even though through time technology has improved by leaps and bounds but somehow i still prefer the old tradition paper and ink. i miss the times going through newspapers, looking for the pen pal to write to.
i love receiving mails, even until now. they make my heart skip a beat everytime i receive one. and i find that it's much more sincere, for every word and alphabet was written purely by hand. every sentence was thought through carefully before written down, because unlike computers, there is no undo or backspace key to hit.
i remember when i was young i use to like licking the back of stamps even though it had a funny taste. i loved to collect the stamps from letters that i've received. but now which growing technology, i feel that people are growing apart as well? we no longer show each other our stamp collections and exchange stamps, or ask for people' home address so we can write to them.
sometimes i wonder if my grandchildren will even know what a letter is.
hmm, perhaps i should write a letter to them? that is if i'm still alive.
