O Time, Time, why didn't you let me know
That to be human meant to die
This is the diary and philosophy of one mind lost amidst billions of others- infinity. I accept that I know nothing and that by trying to understand myself first I can one day hope to understand the world. There is madness involved in the process as I step away from all that is taken for granted.

"We are the time machines."
I have always been fascinating with the notion of Time... and have quite a few differing 'theories' about it, like a lot of people out there - since no one has yet been able to define 'Time'... Sometimes not knowing something can create the greatest sources for imagination, too.
My worst enemy was always myself. I am I who decides. It is I who acts. And the more I zoom in on myself, the more I get to face the truth of what I need to do to figure out just what I'm made of. I prefer to say that now rather than this vague and oh-so-common idea of 'finding yourself'. My lack of action and affirmation says a lot more about who I am than any thought I or anyone could ever come up with.
Rather than time machine, I would say it's more about a fusion machine - getting to a bigger picture by having all times lived so far coming together as one.
After all, we are the ones who need to cut time up in pieces in a hopeless attempt at mastering it, but maybe if we could take a bird's eye view we'd realise that past, present and future are in fact one.
