The Past

What is the importance of your past? Can we take back the times that already past? There is no future if there is no past. I wish that life have it’s own past and forward so that in just one click we can go back to our past life and ameliorate it.

While am spending my time resting in my room my elementary and high school days come flashing back to me so I decided to open my box which has a lot of remembrance from my earlier life. It has a letter came from my friends and friends who sometime became enemies. Time will heal the wounds right? The box also consist of a valentine card came from a special friend, tickets from field trip and play, tissue napkin from some of restaurant that has been part of my happy days. It’s also has a plenty of pictures of different places and events with my classmate and friends.

Every time I open my box, I feel mix emotion sadness and happiness. Sadness because they are far away from me. We seldom meet each other. Happiness because they have been part of molding my personality. But we are far from our dreams. Our journey will take a lot of effort and sacrifices. Our race is not yet over. I hope that every one of us will become successful in the path we are taking.

I will not stop collecting things that will make me remember my past. I will collect whether it’s small or big. When I grow older than, as old as you grandparents, this box will help me to cherish the time that had past in my life.
