Lately I’ve been reconnecting with the past. A particular past, to be exact. I didn’t do it on purpose. It just...”came” to me... Yeah I know... Such convenient timing. At first I was hesitating because I didn’t see any good that could come from it. But then a couple of friends suggested me otherwise.
They said that reconnecting with the past, especially the ones that are worth to embrace, might do me some good. It might help me to face the future. A better and healthy one. A lot of my friends even said that I should do whatever it takes that can make me happy. Whatever. They said I need it AND I deserve it. Haha :) Yes, I have SUCH loving and caring friends.
Life is funny that way. Sometimes you're up, but then you're waaay down. You lose some, you win some. Apparently I've lost a lot memories, good and (fortunately) bad. But then I gain new ones and so far, mostly they are nice ones. I’m surrounded by loving people, you know. And I just realize it... NOW. There are a lot of people from my past who (still) care about me... And surprisingly those from the future, who eventually become my friends now in the present. Some of them I don’t even know personally but I guess I’m that lucky! A lot of people genuinely want me to be healthy and happy.
So that’s what I’m receiving so far. Love and affections. Every day I’m showered with lovely words through phone calls and messages. A simple hallo, invitations to hang out, funny pictures, presents or even love poems and delayed confessions are also among the attentions I’m receiving every day.
Life.
Who knew that the ones you used to ignore are going to be the one who “save” you today. And that the ones from your past are going to be the people who give you a better future. Saying that life is totally unpredictable is way underrated.
