Time machine..

If I were to build a time machine I would go to the past and the future. The past is the past, but maybe, I have missed something. The future is destiny, but maybe, I would like to find out my destiny is before it happens.


I would go to the past because I would like to relive the good times. I would like to see my mom as a child. I would like to see the hardship my father undertook as a child. I would like to see what my family had to give up for me to have a successful life. And most importantly I would like to see and relive my childhood. If I could go to the past and see how my family came up from nothing to amazing and successful people, would be the best thing I could get from being able to travel to the past.


I would travel to the future to see what I’ve become in the past years. I would want to see how my parents’ life was affected by some of my choices. I would like to see my children, grandchildren, and families’ lives. I would like to see if my dreams of becoming a vet came true. I would like to see if I had a big or small family. I would like to see how my life has unfolded throughout time. I would like to ask my grandchildren if I was a good grandparent. I would participate in “the future activities”, only if it didn’t alter the future in any way.


If I could travel to the future I think I would see cars that do not cause pollution. I think I’d see more students graduating from high school. I think I’d see middle class people getting higher up in the economy. I’d see Cassandra and I as veterinarians with our own clinic. I see my future foundation for rescuing lost and lonely pets coming together. I see my mom and dad running the family business. I see my aunt working in a high class restaurant as head chef. I see our house on a huge piece of land. And I see my family getting what they finally deserve.


There wouldn’t be anything much to see in the past, but I’d love to relive the good memories and even some of the bad. One memorable time I would want to relive is the time when my cousins and I were very close. We were the best of friends, going to play basketball together, hanging out with each other, sharing secrets, and being real family. I miss those days so much but I guess as time changes people do to. I’d like to relive the time I had with my grandfather in Mexico. I’d like to relive my middle school days, when drama wasn’t really an issue and when nobody really cared who you were or where you came from. I’d even like to relive the time I spent with my old friend before his passing.

I believe that reliving the past would help me let it go a bit easier. I believe knowing the future will answer some of my questions and make me prepared for the rest of my life.
