The Right Time, The Last Time

It was not too long ago where I watched the movie About Time, which Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleeson. The movie tells of a young man named, Tim and his other male descendants of his family holds the ability to travel back in time and fix things if necessary. Although I was planning on doing a movie review on this but I went for a different direction because this movie taught me the value of something important and I wish to do yet another self-reflection about, time.

In the movie, after his father told him about this special power, Tim often travels back into time to say what he should have said, do what he should have done and fix his mistakes that he had made. At first, it was like winning a lottery at every try and he could easily go back in time if he mess things up, and it went over and over.

Tim had reached to a moment where he went back in time over and over again until he is satisfied with the moment and starts to lose the essence of time travelling, also i'm so sorry this is gonna be a huge spoiler alert and i'm just gonna jump into the several last segments of the movie because i do not want this to be a long post.

But with recent death of his father. His father told him that he does not need to rewrite moments for him to really enjoy it, he told him to live a day expecting that he could always travel back, and his days was filled with dark skies, gloomy atmospheres, impatiently waiting for things to end and it went horribly. Then his father had asked him to relive that day as if it was his last time going back into time and rewriting his life. From there and so on, Tim lived his life as if it was his last time he was going back into time to live it, and he could not be more happier as life started to bloom genuinely.

From the moral of the story, I often have those days where things are going horribly wrong and I tell myself that there is always tomorrow and I can start all over again, this movie has taught me that each moment is a gift and if we truly value time, time will have it's glitch of magic striking at us and will present us with a noble moment for that to live it once is enough.

I was going through endless pages of pictures Weheartit and i came across this picture that definitely caught my attention.

Time. Time is something that we cannot take back and we must not take it for granted.

With advanced technology nowadays has enabled us to do greater things innovation wise, but does it also bring good to the environment that we live in.

Countless times where i've passed lands that was once filled with life and nature that has been demolished until there were none left to be seen. Now all i see are architectural buildings rose up into the air and who knows how many trees were cut down in the making of it.

As a part of the millennial generation, we must not let the world that we live in being destructed by our own creation, there are so many ways to preserve the environment that i am ashamed of myself that i have not done much to be a part of it, but slowly, i will reflect it in my everyday doing.

For some moments, please be selfless, think of all the children in Africa and do not waste precious water as they run through the sink and do not relentlessly use the electricity all day. Go outside and be with the sun! Little acts of good will lead to bigger greatness in the future.
