Memories... They Stay Better As They Are... Memories...

"One of the luckiest things that can happen to you in life is to have a happy childhood. I had a very happy childhood."--anonymous.

Well, i had a very happy childhood too. In fact i feel it's the best phase of my life.

Memories of your childhood often flow through your mind, whether it's a pleasant innocent dream or a viciously tormenting nightmare. Many of us i would say have had a beautiful childhood. Sometimes you'd just wish that you were back there in such a stress-free environment where probably the only kind of decisions you had to make is to choose between Vanilla or Chocolate flavoured ice-cream. Exams were chicken feet *i dun understand why chicken feet is used for such description*. The only nagging we get is to clear up our toys. There were hardly any homework back then that we could spend our entire day just watching TV.

Now, you wish you were back in those carefree days again don't you? But then again, someone else said, "Never go back to a place where you have been happy. Until you do, it remains alive for you. If you go back it will be destroyed." I totally agree with that. When you visit a place for the second time, it just never seems the same. Since we can't go back in time, we can always bring childhood into the present rite? It's always ok to cry like a baby when you're feeling really down. It's also alright to play and have fun like a little child all over again. Nobody's stopping you. Yes... there's no way you can turn back time, no way you can walk that path again. Things change... it always changes for the better.

Now, as young adults, we have the power to make our own choices. We have the freedom of doing things we never could when we were younger. There are experiences that we have never encountered and would never encounter if we had stayed in our childhood. Not only do we have a mind of our own now. We can still recreate the beautiful parts of our childhood and make them part of our lifestyle today. It can be as simple as going to the playground and sit on the swing. You never know what kind of miracles it does. Who knows... thinking may be made much simpler... not so complexed.

It's the same for the New Year ahead. 2004. Why dread it? Just because you can't bear to leave 2003 behind? Is it fair for 2004? Aren't you being biased? 2004 hasn't even arrived and proven itself. Yes... we always fear the unknown but it's only fair to give it a chance to show itself. If it turns out positive... then well... good! But if it turns out the other way... then it'll be a new experience... a lesson to learn from, a lesson from which will make days ahead better ones.

2003 may have been a wonderful year but nobody said you can't bring all the wonderful things along with you to 2004. I always believe the year ahead would be a better one. Why? Because not only will it bring new surprises to life, I can also choose to continue the pleasant things of this year and leave the unwanted behind. It's like a filter. Bring only the things that will make the new year a better one. The new year doesn't have to be TOTALLY new. Anyway, 1st January 2004 is just a tomorrow of 31st December 2003. It's just like any other tomorrows.

OK... let's see... if Mr Time could really turn back time... how could you be sure that those pleasant moments you had would not be destroyed? 2003 would not be 2003 anymore. It wouldn't be as beautiful as the memory you have of it.


2004 would be a better year!!!

***hello! The leaves will not die before autumn! Spring will take good care of it ok?! And I'm sure they'll live through summer as well!!!
