Time Capsule

Everyone have their own time capsule hidden somewhere at some point of time. It’s just that nobody seems to notice they have kept a hidden time treasure till the day it was rediscovered. A time capsule is often a box kept of memories, which may be lying way beneath your wardrobe. You often don’t know when the box was kept and why was it there. But the joy of finding it is better have having a dream of long time ago.
As I was clearing my shelves this New Year, I stumble upon a box which I have long forgotten its existence. Opening this “Pandora” box came mixed feelings of happiness and sad. I was happy because I have found things that I thought had been thrown away. Christmas Cards, letters sent by people whom I used to know…. I was sad because I had lost so many friends over the years.
Some of these cards & letters was dated almost a decade ago and most of the senders I have already lost contact was as long as the cards showed. Some kind of friend I was.
As I picked up the yellowish papers and cards, I had this warm feeling that many years ago, I was well liken by so many people. Every festive season, my mailbox will be filled with well wishing cards, some were hand made, some were bought with the price tag not remove.
As our life continue to get busier each day, we are sometimes outpaced by the demands of luxurious living. We meet new people each day, we forget old friends each day. Those people who have been with you at some point of time can only be relived when you have the time.
And time is easily wasted because we will never have enough of it to do all the things we can or we want. Friendship is tested beyond time, to see a friend whom you never see in a long time is happier than finding your missing wallet.
I slowly repacked the letters & cards back in the wooden box and put it back beneath the shelves. The time capsule will be kept for a long time before I rediscovered it again. Lying unknown to anyone but myself. Till the day its reopened, it will continue to bear the memories of my life and the great friends I have known throughout the years.

I believe everyone have their own time capsule. It’s just that we are often too busy to notice it. Look around your room, your wardrobe, your drawer and anywhere that you think you have kept something before and trust me the feeling is great when you find it.

Not because you have found your lost items, but because it rekinders your memories once more.
