We are indeed all creatures of emotion, aren’t we?
It’s amazing how some good old memories can revitalise someone, make them feel younger. Well, they do me anyway. I find myself thinking of my past, thinking of the insanity that was my teenage years, and wondering how I survived it all?
Today we focus on work, families, world politics, office politics and frustration. It is so easy to get caught up in all of that, and forget about your past, the very thing that moulded you and created you, the person you are today.
some people would rather forget their past, let it fade away into obscurity because of the negative things that they may have been through in their lives. But here is an idea, out of leftfield. :)
The life you have led, the good, the bad and the ugly have all created a person, someone who is either content with who they are today, or someone who still needs to grow to become content with themselves. Whatever the current circumstances, those events in your life should be cherished and nurtured. They created you.
If the negatives were not there in the past, how would you look back and laugh hysterically at the good times? what would there be to compare it to?
Personally, I would have it all again, the same again please waiter.
All the bad, all the negative, all the confusion of teenage years, all the anger at life, the first heartbreak, the first betrayal, the first rejection, the first failure. BUT, also, the first time you fell in love, the first time you kissed, the time you finished school, the first paycheque, the first time losing yourself on a dance floor, the first time you made love. It’s amazing when put into perspective that all of these good things would be nothing without the bad to compare them to.
Yes, I know I am waxing lyrical about things that most of you know, but I think it’s important to regain consciousness of this every now and then, and realise, that you are still alive, you still feel, you still get through each day to watch the sunrise tomorrow. And sometimes, when you think that friend who you have lost touch with has disappeared from your life, they pop up unexpectedly, and you realise that you are still friends, and that you can draw such amazing power from them. The power of memories.
Thank God for your life, thank God for your friends, and thank God for your heartbreak.
I love it.
Before I get accused of being a lecturer again, like I was by my daughter this afternoon, I will shut up now.
kthxbye
