Happy New Year!

Year 2008 has been quite eventful to me, to say the least. I took a stroll down memory lane, squinting through the days that passed me by. I’m looking back. I sifted through my photo albums, my birthday gifts, digging up all the reminiscences of the past to help me flashback to the finest moments in my life.

Sometimes, I really wish to have them all videotaped so I could watch them all over again, relive those moments where we shared jokes and just for a second or two, we were all laughing together and all our problems seemed to have vanished.
-
-
But then I realized, some of the people who used to play a vital role in my life, where we always knew exactly what was going on with each other, could just walk out of your life like they were never a big part of it.

Life, people come in and out, people you know become people you knew. Everyone has changed one way or another. Now we barely even speak.

One reason I figured is that, all of us were going on our separate ways, and throughout the time when we were distant, we start our new life, experience different things. From there and then, we change.

I think what we have been through made us what we are. It circuitously influences our character so we can see the world in a different aspect. People who have been betrayed question the credibility of trustworthiness. People who are broken put up walls against others. We may not like the way they have become, but we should still accept them as who they are. We do not have the right to judge them because we do not know what they have been through.
-
-
As we grow older, we perpetuate the experience we have had as our memory and we learn from every circumstance we have faced. From there, we get to put back pieces of ourselves differently and build a new character. Even if you are not the same, your heart might be a little obscured, sometimes the cracks and the empty spaces create a whole new quality.

After all, changes itself is a fundamental feature of life.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I seriously get better looking every year. However, there are many things I would like change, not in a facial sense but my inner self. There are many ugly characteristics of mine which you can't see just by looking at me.

-
I think I’m too judgmental. I tend to presume a person’s personality when I don’t really know him/her yet and even start to despise them. Besides, I really need to be more patient with time and with people. I just suck at waiting.

Hopefully by the end of the year, I can be a more decidedly mellow person.

When you look at the mirror, do u recognized that face as your own? Or do you see a new person?

Your past may have made you a different person, and if looking back hurts and looking forward scares you, then look beside you. I'll always be there for you
