The Birth of Bridge of Time by Missy


Author's Comment:


A few years back a buddy of mine confided in me and he said “We had a lot of fun times, we shared a lot of memories, we had so much fun and I fell in love with her, but I never get to tell her about it, I was afraid I might scare her off by telling her how I feel. I might just lose what I have with her. “I looked at him and asked what happened next? He said “I lost her to someone else” I asked why? He replied “She said she can’t hang out with me anymore because she got herself a boyfriend and told me she didn’t know if she meant something to me at all while we were hanging out. “ My eyes were wide open after that comment and asked him if he went after her and told her how he feels? His response was “It’s too late” She already fell in love with someone else. I’m not really sure why I thought about that moment sometime February of 201 but while driving from home from work, I thought about others who may have found themselves in the same shoes and if they did, what happened to their story? Were they able to find their way back to each other? Were they able to some sort of closure? Did fate interfered and cross their paths again? Or love for that matter? It was mind boggling so I sat in front of the computer, my imagination ran wild, playing scenarios in my head like a movie until my own emotions started being “in that very moment” as if I was part taking in it, in my buddy’s shoes, in his girl’s shoes. I gathered thoughts in my head, word things out the way I would feel if I were to be put in that situation, started letting my fingers do the typing then gave it a title “Love, Unspoken” (The same title in one of my published writings a few years back) I figured, It wouldn’t matter since I’ll only be writing it on my Facebook page it’s unlikely any readers would come across the page anyway. But I was wrong. Totally wrong and boy, I was glad I’m wrong.


After publishing Love, Unspoken on my Facebook page, I received numbers of responses from readers who not only welcomed my piece but relates to it as well, sharing with me their life stories, requesting a writing material about their lives, so I wrote another one, then another one.. Bridge of Time became some sort of a support group for readers who are going through phases in their lives, It is amazing how one can relate to the other although million miles apart. Sharing kindness, sharing piece of their lives to one another, bringing comfort to one another, sharing compassion towards one another. All the readers of Bridge of Time contributed a great deal in its success, they inspired me to get back into writing (Sadly enough though, my allotted time in writing varies due to my day time career, so I can only write as much as time permits) I am very glad readers find my materials entertaining and it serves some form of comfort to others in knowing they are not alone in what ever phases they go through in life. Bridge of Time page has become an official community page powered by its readers. I am very grateful to them.


However, " I do NOT Edit nor Proof read my materials before having it publish as I prefer to send the message that ‘In Life and Love one really doesn’t get the chance to edit the moment, You just go through with it, you just experience it! You just live it! Love and life in general is like writing your own book, you find a lot of grammatically errors and, typing error. It is after the moments were lived, it is after the experience were lived through that you get to figure out what works for you or not, then you get to edit your own mistakes, you get to edit your own views and outlook in life, or love for that matter in the process of doing so, you find yourself retracing and remembering the past, the people in it, or were in it, then you find yourself walking through your own Bridge of Time as others may call it “remembering” “Nostalgia” or what ever terminologies one may call the moments of being caught in the past and the present. Well, except this time around, “YOU” get to pick whether to hold on to that moment, to keep holding on, to get stuck in that limbo of past and the present, to move forward, to take a step back or to let go."

GUESSING GAME (By Missy)


“Are you mad?” She asked over the phone. “A little yeah...” there’s a sadness in his voice, the tone of confusion “Just that, I didn’t know you’re dating now, since when?” He asked. “Uh hmnn, it’s really not serious, we’re just hanging out.” She responded. “Are you mad?” She asked again. “No not mad, just kind of upset” his voice was breaking yet remained soft. She told him, she doesn’t understand why he would be upset. He asked her how come she never dated him and reminded her they’ve been very close and in fact has been intimate on and off for years. “I don’t understand, what do you mean?” She asked over the phone wondering in confusion and he said, “Well, I just don’t want you to get hurt, see you date someone, then you fall in love, then it doesn’t work, you get hurt and when you get hurt it makes me feel like I want to put my fist in someone’s face. “ “I didn’t know that’s how you feel? You never speak to me about it” she said and more confusion of her part start stirring, somehow she felt a sharp pain in her chest hearing the sound of sadness in his voice, she sense he is aching. “I gotta get off the phone” He suddenly uttered. “Hey wait, do you want to talk about it?” She asked and he said. “Nah, it’s all good. I’ll catch yah later” he then hung up the phone.


Ah the Guessing Game! It’s very sad when two people who are supposedly mature and grown up plays this little trick of Guessing Game. Grown up tend to get emotionally or physically attached to one another, share moments together, build memories together, sometimes even fell in love and care for each other, but they never find the time to actually sit down and talk about the situation they are both in. Assuming the other would already know, while the other one waits thinking he or she will just wait until the other one starts talking or opening up about his or her emotions. Sometimes both find themselves in situations where they would rather not talk about the most important thing, a clarification or reassurance of each other’s place in each other’s life. Leaving everything to assumption, to waiting, thinking emotions or affection will actually speak for itself on its own. Until someone else comes along, sweep the other’s feet away; Until a third party comes in the picture, then the pain stirs, the sadness begins, the confusion rises, someone’s heart gets broken while the other has no clue as to why the other person reacts the way he or she does.


When two people who built good memories together (fun times as others may call it) or when two people who find attraction to one another and shared emotional or physical attachment does NOT speak of how they feel for each other one of them if not both will always be left in the dark, wondering if the moments shared even meant a thing to the other? It creates emotional turmoil, confusion, pain and sadness. And worse part, when the third party is already involved to the other person, it leaves them hanging always wondering, why it seems he or she is sharing someone’s affection to some unknown sources. This Guessing Games most people play unconsciously only brings any form of relationship or emotional even physical attachment in chaos. It’s kind of sad really. Love and all these beautiful emotions of love doesn’t happen everyday and when it does, some if not most, unknowingly let it slip away.


WICKED GAMES (By Missy)


Sometimes when a relationship hits the rock, two caring people who love each other loses focus on things. Sadly enough, grown ups has a tendency of playing this thing called Wicked Games. You know the “You hurt me, I’ll hurt you back” type of games grown ups do in the midst of their frustration or anger towards the other. The little wicked games lovers play on each other when relationship goes sour, The I’ll make you jealous kind of games or the “I will get you back for what you did to me” moments some lovers may have done to the other out of spite, out of anger and frustration or what ever really the reasons are. Makes me wonder tonight, how far a wicked game really goes? In my own opinion, in the end this game grown up play really doesn’t do anybody any good. Maybe a momentary thrill yes, new face, new attraction, I should say “Distraction” a temporary pass for making one’s self feel better for what was done to them by someone they love. Unfortunately sometimes, when two people who care and love each other faces relationship difficulties, they tend to either just grow apart or become bitter with each other, others may have spend hours of arguing, fighting and perhaps even yelling and screaming then steer clear of each other. Some lovers perhaps just don’t talk about a thing that puts a dent in their relationship, hoping it will go away.


Then there are those who makes hasty decisions, perhaps the pain is too much to bear or the anger perhaps if not rage then go off making poor choices such as looking for a relationship-replacement
