    Reminiscing
    Saturday, August 1, 2015 | 0 comments
    Hello, everyone!(^O^☆♪  It's been like, 3 months? 4 months? Goodness gracious, sorry for neglecting this place (つД`)ノ   

    The past summer was really bittersweet, with equal parts bitter and sweet. Sweet because I attended a nationwide youth conference, and went to HK and Macau afterwards. Bitter because it all had to end... *sighs* I already miss my conference buddies (u_u)

    But I suppose nothing really lasts forever, no? Time passes, and events end. It's okay though because when we feel sad, it means that we are alive— we felt happiness, and you can only know the difference when you have experienced both~~ <3

    Speaking of which, that brings to mind a thought. Does everyone reminisce? Well, I suppose most of us— if not all— do. There's just a warm, nostalgic feeling that fills me when I do remember the past. Part of me says to continue, and explore the libraries of my memory. On the other hand, part of me also says to stop— to move on, and keep the memories in where they are. Oddly, both ring of the truth. 

    There are times in which I want to relive wonderful days. It makes me happy to think about them once again and to remember— but what's strange is that sometimes they are tinged with sadness. It elicits the thought that perhaps I may never experience it again. Most of the time, I know that it's true. Maybe it was the last time I was going to see those people, as we've all gone our separate ways. Such a bittersweet thing. Oh, but what wonderful times. It can't be helped, you know?

    The other side of me though, tries to reprimand me. Why do these happy things sadden me? Aren't they supposed to motivate me? Shouldn't these thoughts tell me to get out there, and make new memories? In a sense, I suppose so. Memories are unique objects, and each is different for the other. It is impossible to recreate every aspect of it— the feeling, the place, the people. In the memory we hold, they will be immortalized as so; but it changes. In reality, they all change. It will be impossible to make an exact copy of it. That begs the question: what do we do?

    Well, this is what we do— we make new ones. We cannot replicate a memory, but we can go out and make them. We managed to make happy memories before, so what's stopping us from making them again? True, they won't be the same; they never will be. But similar or not, happy memories are happy memories, and they aren't all the same. There's your family, your friends; go out and be happy with them! Or if not, then do something you enjoy! All we really need to do is to just smile at the past as it ushers you to keep on walking.

    Remember this: the past is a trampoline. If you decide to look ahead, you will go places. Just like a trampoline, it's your choice if you want to stay on it motionlessly, or to jump to higher grounds and explore new things. You never forget the trampoline— your past. You're always going to go back, but it will empower you and not bring you down.

    Perhaps that's not the best analogy, but I think it fits right now. I think y'all get what I mean (=^x^=)

    Well, I guess that's about it for now. Maybe I'm just a little too optimistic? Perhaps. But I like to think about this topic, as I feel like this subject, though it means one thing, is unique to each of us. Some like it, some don't. But in the end, it's still there— a small bunch that's kept away in the crevices of our minds :)

    Final thoughts, anyone? Do you guys think like this too, or perhaps you have a different perspective on things? Feel free to leave a comment, or drop by the c-box >:3 Thanks for reading, if you got this far! Ciao everyone, and have a great day! ( ^-^)/
