It’s funny just how often time changes our perception of things. This only just popped into my head the other day when I was watching a “favorite” old movie that I’d bought from Amazon; a college frat comedy. This movie is at least 20 years old and I had fond memories of watching it and falling over laughing so as a minor treat to myself I decided to buy it online. Oh the movie is called KingFrat by the way.

After 30 minutes I turned the movie off. It was truly and utterly awful. The worst kind of crap you could imagine. I think I managed one small giggle in all that time. I was so disappointed. What happened to the movie I loved when I was younger?

Time has colored my memories of this movie. I made it funnier in my head than it ever was in real life. Seeing it again kinda woke me up to the reality that time does change us and how we see and feel about things. There are things which are timeless (in movie terms we can say Star Wars for example) and other things date in our lives very quickly.

We’re told that time is a great healer and a great destroyer. Both are equally true. In this case time neither healed nor destroyed for me - it simply showed me that what was once important and precious to us can change; sometimes a lot sooner than we think.

What has time changed in your life?
