Time travels when you're missing somebody. All of your pleasant memories of them come flooding back to you, including the times you were in the middle of a conversation and noticed little details, the times you laughed at something that was only hilarious when shared with someone else, the odd locations you visited, and the odd emotions you experienced—that don't feel so odd when you're with them.
Sharing the present moment with someone is how you envision creating memories for the future while you are missing them. Knowing everything they adore—knowing everything they like, whether they prefer lettuce on their sub, binge-watching an F.R.I.E.N.D.S. episode numerous times, or strolling down their favorite lane.
Traveling through time steals your present, makes you forget that you need to get up early for work, that you still have other messages to respond to, and that it appears to be a pricey ticket.
The thing that makes a voyage worthwhile to remember is not what we spend, but rather who we spend it on.
