Trying To Freeze Time
“Most of life’s pains come from trying to “hold on” or “freeze” some specific moment in time.” Brook Noel
As an example, losing someone you love is a natural part of life that is painful; whether through death or a break-up; whether you suddenly grow out of a relationship or gradually drift apart. When you grieve for someone who is no longer a part of your life, you’re wanting to “hold on” to what it was like to have that person with you.
My marriage to my first husband was a direct result of wanting to freeze a specific moment in time. I got involved with him because I couldn’t get past that moment my father walked out the door. I was frozen to that moment in time until I finally decided that I had to move on. As it happened, that wasn’t until almost 10 years later!
I often look back and wish that I could reclaim the time I wasted, but I cannot. No one can. I can only learn the lesson that trying to freeze time is impossible…and hurtful.
