Forgotten

Lets admit it: we all have forgotten who we once were. As time cunningly robbed us of our memories as we gradually grew up, we have forgotten what it was like being those kids on playgrounds with less responsibilities. We have forgotten what it is like being young and careless.
As photos begin to fade away and old toys once regularly used begin to settle with dust or thrown away, we echo these events by slowly losing parts of who we were. From being five or six entering into kindergarten, to turning ten years old excited to finally it those double digits in age, to turning ecstatically entering into adulthood at eighteen. These are moments in our lives that we can not take back or relive. Once it passed, though we may remember the moment, we can’t truly rekindle those feelings or thoughts that we had at those times.
We easily fall into this trap of wanting to grow up so quickly and gain this obsession of the future, that it’s easy to forget all that you’ve been through that you become a stranger to your own past. Truth is, sometimes we just need to take a step back from everything and see how far we have come, and to take advantage of right now. To cherish all the feelings, thoughts, and experiences you have right now before they become forgotten.
