Time

A few days ago I remembered times when I used to meet with some old friends and how we began to remember experiences and times we had passed. We were remembering every little detail, every moment, always with our minds far away and really missing those old moments. I used to leave these conversations thinking "Oh gosh... Why do these times not come back?" or in questions like these, but just in a few moments I would forget them and just say: Yeah. That's life.

But remembering this today I realized that our life is not static. Changes occur every day, in both people and in our present. The responsibilities change, people grow and take different paths of us, our friends move and live in distant places, we change and things do not come back as they were before. Unfortunately, this is something hard to be accepted, because we want to keep certain things, keep magical moments as they were eternal, but that's not reality. Time is not something that is under our control. We just walk over it in one direction, without being able to jump forward or take backward steps. However, there is one thing we can do: do not let your best days stay in the past, but write them constantly in your present.

So, may we remember every good time we had and really rejoice with them. May we regret the bad times, always trying to grow through them. But let us know especially how to stand up and see the Future rising in the horizon, understanding that our memories should continue as what they really are: the past.
