"Sometimes we believe that life has to move on. We reminisce the past,and realize good things don't last. But somehow,we silently wish to hold on to the one we once had."
Growing up. We face so many things. Being a teenager is hard.
Living up to expectations, making your family proud, dealing with peer pressure, on going romance, juniors, high school, college, license,alcohol,parties,drugs, etc etc!
BLEH.
To be very,very honest, the only reason i wanted to grow up,was to get a license and be able to drive a car. Yes, that is all i wanted.
My childhood was awesome. Care free, protected, not forced upon. I actually enjoyed it.
Independence. Once we turn 13, we feel that we own this world. That our existence is the most important to mankind. We become full of ourselves,and we tend to explore.
So, the gap between 'turning into a teenager' & 'turning eighteen', we tend to go through a lot more than we can handle.
Emotions. They take over and you're lost in a world of your own.
5 years,is all it takes,for one to realize that their past was such a pretty place.
And we ask ourselves," WHY IN GOD'S NAME DID WE WANNA GROW UP??"
Think about it,think about the past five years of your life(no matter how old you are), wouldn't you wanna go back?
5 years can change a person. For even good people,go bad. And surprisingly,bad people,may turn good.
"The past is a good place to visit,but not a good place to stay"
True. We all reminisce the past. Good,bad,ugly. Every memory that you have,has made you the person you are today.So has every experience. And sometimes if you over think about all these memories,you waste your time trying to think of ways you could have not made those mistakes.
We all have wasted so much time thinking about the past.
Maybe for different reasons.
I myself admit,that i've wasted time trying to think of what i could have done and what i shouldn't have done.
But honestly, think about it for once. Why do we revisit our past so often and try to stay there?
Indeed,there are memories that comfort us. But, one mustn't forget that we also revisit our failures.
They say "failure is a stepping stone to success." But is it,really?
Sometimes, we run BACK to our past, only to run AWAY from our future.
Maybe,there are incidents of failure that influence our decisions of progressing in the future.
Or maybe,we're afraid of repeating the same mistakes,and having to face the same demon called 'disappointment'.
I can't ask/tell/advice anyone to forget their past. Cuz it's a hard and pretty lengthy process.
But,when you make so many mistakes,you come to a point in life,when you're left with no choice but to let go.
So,don't waste too much time over your past. Face your future. Face it with a smile. And when the time is right, joy will follow when you're ready to let go. And believe me, a world of opportunities shall come right at you,with a bang.
Blessed be. xx.
