Past. Present. Future. These three words are always associated with time. Associated with us. Present became past. Future became present. Those history and memories we shared. These things we value and continue making fun with. And those dreams we wish to come true.
We were happy.
Looking back, I remembered how things are simply easy. We play and fight and laugh. That's it. No dramas and bitternes running through us. I remember how we laughed our lungs out. Laughed and laughed to the point we couldn't even properly breath. We used to make fun of ourselves, enjoy never ending roadtrips, spit out cheesy-cringey jokes, try unfamiliar foods, and do wrestling battles. I miss it. I miss how we used to be.
I didn't realize what was passing by until I slowed down a little bit to get a better look.
I'm all alone right now. In a dark empty room. Outside, the ocean was crashing, waves hitting sand, then pulling it back to sea. I thought of everything being washed away, again and again. We make such messes in this life, both accidentally and on purpose. But wiping the surface clean doesn't really make anything neater. It just masks what is below. It's only when we really dig down deep, go underground, that we can see what and who really we've become.
I am watching those happy teenagers out my window. I'm happy, at least I could watch them. I'm still a teenager but I guess my childhood has ended. I've enjoyed myself and I guess it's time to face the reality of life.
I just hope, I hope things will get back to how it used to be. Wherever you are, I hope you're having fun. I hope you'll remember me. I hope we'd be the ones who we used to dream of. I hope we'll make things work. I hope we'll be with each other at last. I hope and wish. And continue doing it until it's that day.
I'll make sure that I'll always bring the time with me. So when that day comes, I'll be ready.

About the flashback of pain haha. I had a really long comment there π. And the pamphlet you're talking about there is really very familiar to me.
I think I saw that pamphlet in internet too... it's from a religous group.. i really forgot the exact content of it, i just focused on the cover photo..lol
Ah yes. It's okay at least the cover catched your attention haha. It's from Jehovah's Witnesses actually.
How do you?
What do you mean?
Btw are you jehova?
I'm one of JWs
Lol.. it's wrong sent.. and unfinished comment this quick reply is really annoying....
Hahaha it's okay I understand. No need to be frustrated heheπ

Good for you haha. You sound frustrated kasi dun sa comment mo hehe
Lol.. btw, how old are you? You must be a college student na
Di pa po hehe. I'm 16 years old pa lang po βΊοΈ. I'm G12
Oh..oh.. halos kaedad ng lil sis ko.. mag 1sy yr college this s.y.

She's not so active here..due to that breakup.. you can search @Lovelyjane
I'll go check on her profile. And I hope she'll recover and move on soon. Break ups can be really frustrating indeed.
Sometimes she's not online and doesn't have data.. that's why she came here in rc less often... she only have 4 subscribers.. lol
I see. She will gain more subscribers if she decided to be active and I'll support her too. I'll wait for her hehe
Nah.. i don't think so.. he doesn't know how to make strategies to gain subscribers..haha.. it is as if she's just waiting for her few readers to subscribe her..lol..we're totally opposite.

You must have lived in a completely different world than I. Most children are not happy, are bullied, cry their eyes off and no matter their age they do have worries, know what sadness is and if the kid they thought it was their best friend dumps them it is the end of the world. Many teenagers are depressed and it's increasing. They grow up hungry, abused, molested, threatened, without a father, mother, family, on the streets.
"We we're happy." I think we're should be: we were
The first photo would be better with just wall and clock. The second one is great. Both fit to your text. Good luck with the contest. πππ
@wakeupkitty I took your advice and did some changes on it. Thank you very much. It now looks a lot more okay hehe π β£οΈβ£οΈ
Maybe. We all live different lives. We have our own struggles in life. Each one of us is unique and experience things that others probably don't π.
Oh yes, absolutely! I'm sorry for that huhu. Thank you for noticing and proofreading my article. I appreciate it and it means a lot β€οΈ.
Yeah, that's what I'm aiming to do with that photo. But sadly, we don't have any space on the wall that'll satisfy that. I did try my best on that one π . And thank you very much for the motivation in accordance to the contest. β£οΈβ£οΈ
May nanalo na π Mas magaling ka pa magsulat kay Myt π€π€«
Great job! I'm sure this will be one of the winning entries π€©

If this is a song, i can feel your loneliness. But somehow you are hopeful that things will come to normal again... π Keep up! Nice write ups!
This article is actually very sad. That's what I'm feeling the moment I wrote this. It's somehow about my circle of friends whom I really missed a lot. Thank you for appreciating my write up! It really means a lot to receive those kind of words from you. πβ£οΈβ£οΈ

if present becomes past, and future becomes present, what does past become???
hmmmm still thinking of a nice word for that... im thinking 'trash' but then I thought not all is considered trash... then I'm thinking dreams... some bad and some good. but it sounds corny...
So, to satisfy myself, i just let myself think as simple as PAST IS PAST. simple as that. past will remain as past and in the past.
We learn from our past, we become stronger, wiser, though sometimes we never really learn, it's a fact. But our past does not fully define us. We change, change is inevitable. I think, our past and present define us. it depends on our past struggles and/or achievements and how we dealt and is dealing with every situation we encounter.
Yeah. I've been thinking about it too. And I thought that past becomes history. Where it all become just memories that we enjoy remembering. But I just let it be. I think I'll let people decide what they thought about what past become. And your thought, I agree with that. We'll let the past be past. We learn from it, and move on. And it's also important to not forget. But past doesn't conpletely define an individual, we may have made mistakes but we learn from it. Don't let the past define you. Let it make you stronger and be a better person. πβ£οΈ
but I was thinking that history also includes present. or does history meant past? nabobo na ata ako ahaha...
I agree. make it as a challenge to compose a better you. Always look for promising future to look forward to and learn from you past. It's the only way we can really get the best lessons.. ππ
Now that I look for the definition of history, it says "the events of the past". Yeah it's kinda wierd for it to be "the past becomes 'the events of the past'" hahaha. It doesn't even made sense. Sorry for that π . I think I need some words of wisdom from you now. Ako yung nabobo actually hahaha.
hahhahaa sabi nga nila nakakabobo ang overthinking. let's just keep it simple. past is past tapos ahahhaa
Oo talaga I overthink most of the time pa naman hahahha π€¦. Anyways, I'll agree with that," past is past". Simple as that.
hahhaa same tayo girl. haha ganun ata talaga. normal lang ata talaga na ang tao mag overthink minsan ahhaha.... ang di normal ay yung mamuhay sa past . huwaaat??? whogoat ahahah
wow hahahaha. Grabee parang andami mo nang hinanakit sa buhay hahahahah charot π. Di talaga normal yun unless makapagtime travel tayo hahahha
haha charot lang yan sis haha
hahahaha whogoat queen ka pala dito π
And the photographs. . πππ
