Prompt: Ugh – a bit off prompt. I chose the ‘Go back in time for a bit of a sneaky look into the past by pretending you have a time machine that isn’t just in your head’ option. Perhaps an omission on Galen’s part in putting the options together this week 😉

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls

Step right up and see the marvellous time machine – a physical manifestation; it is not. But rather, it is a thing of the mind. Gather around, close your eyes and put Gotye’s, ‘Somebody that I used to know’ on the radio. It’s 2012 – and, you’re looking at somebody that you used to know. (That was really a very happy coincidence).

To set the mood, here's Gotye's official video from his Youtube channel:

In 2012, I was practically a Spring chicken! And it was then that I met the love of my life. It was all a fairy tale really, I went to a café, had a chat – and it was just so easy. I knew it more than a good fit when she started talking about the cookies her mum used to bake.

So why this moment? Afterall, with the power of imagination, I mean time travel – we could literally go anywhere! I wouldn’t mind having been able to dance to the ‘Footloose’ soundtrack in 1983, or I would rather have enjoyed swinging into the swinging sixties – although I fear I’m far too conservative to have actually gotten on board the swing. So 2012 it is! You see, we’ve been together for ten years, and my now wife is the person who I imagine myself with until the end. But – I just want to take a moment to remember the giddy feelings of falling in love, and the thoughts you have about whether the other person likes you, or should you respond to a message so quickly, or whether to introduce the cutesy nicknames. Those early weeks in a relationship really can make you feel alive, right? And, in many ways it is a bittersweet realisation to come to know that I’ll never experience those butterflies again. Or at least I hope not; I don’t have the energy to go through that again!

Now – while we’re hanging out in this time machine, it wouldn’t hurt to drop a few hints. You know, tell that lovesick puppy over there to buy some Bitcoin. It’s under 10 bucks a coin, and he ain’t even heard of it! The clown!

This post is in response to The Weekend prompt, get on it here.

This is a really lovely moment to want to go back to. I also love that you chose this one instead of that time you kicked a goal on the soccer oval or beat a 1989 Hyundai Excel in a drag race whilst driving your Datsun 180B.

I can see why you want to go back to that time. Giddy is a fantastic way to describe falling in love!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts for the Time prompt and have a great Sunday.
