SEE YOU YESTERDAY

As a kid i remember enjoying time travel. 

Yes, i am a time traveler at heart. 

I used to draw and redraw my time traveling machine and dream about the design. 

I finally stopped on the iconic London phone booth, but a green one. 

A Lorne green one 💚.

I still don't know how the will to change timelines chimed in but, it was dear to my little hearth. 

I spent all the hours before the arrival of my private teacher writing about everything. 

The little details, the pieces, and all the process of leaving one timeline for the other.

I was sure taking a candid look at movies and TV shows that were touching the subject. 

Everything was not perfectly crafted ; mind you i didn't know how to design the interior of the machines, so i left it to time. 

Those were adult stuff. 

I would go to school and learn about it later, everything will be alright....

Few days ago, i had a gut wrenching nightmare about my little brother. 

The feeling of pain was unbearable and the tears are still pouring down my cheeks as i am writing. 

I called him and he confirmed that the fall that took his life in the dream manifested itself in real life. 

That morning, as i was at short of data, i had to call him hours later. 

In the mean time, he almost fell and that drop, my dear, would have been his last.

As i proceeded to wipe the painful memories out of my mind, i started talking to my cousin about that overwhelming and persistant experience.

Then, i realized there was a show about it.

In 2019, Spike Lee releases a TV show called "See You Yesterday". 

The title in itself is intriguing right ?

The show has been cancelled since then ; but, it was about 2 teenagers : C.J and Sebastian. 

C.J who is very close to her brother loses the late in a senseless altercation with the police and she decides with her friends help to create a time travel machine to go back to that exact moment. 

Like in many other movies, the rule is they can't meet themselves in the past. 

So, they have to tiptoe constantly , track their past itinaries, in hope of saving CJ's brother. 

They then face major issues. They either don't get there on time or get there just one time but have to go back quickly.

After several attempts, the succeed to get on the scene right on time to hear the bullet being shit, and reliving the traumatic scene time and time again. 

One day, they become successful, but, the problem is... The universe seem to absolutely need a soul because Sebastian is the one being killed that time and CJ can save her brother. 

The brother now gas to go back with his sibling to bring CJ back... They have definetly cause wayyy more harm than what they could have imagined. 

The show may have been suspended but the question remains !

Can we change the course of destiny?

How many times have we wished something could have been a little bit different?

How many of us have people we wish we could've saved?

Sometimes, just for an hour, we won't be greedy; we won't ask much, will we?

It sometimes freezes cruelty to tell someone their love one passing was "part of a plan".

But how about the times we were able to prevent a catastrophy, a brother from falling to his death, a friend's relative from being murdered?

Oh dear, i wish i had the answers to my own interrogations. 

But for now, let's live in the future and dodge the bullets in the present.

See you yesterday darling.
