Lost in Time
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. Thank you very much for reading this article!

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
