A ghost of our former self

There’s a point in our lives where we realized ‘things changes’. Somewhere in the timeline of our lives we have met people that forever changed who we are, faced hardships and tragedies that changed our perspectives of life, and gained experiences of failures, sadness, and heartbreak that makes us lose faith in the concept of happily ever afters.
And when we think about who we were before, we are faced with this stranger…this ghost of our former selves. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine that we were once just kids whose biggest problems was winning beating gym leaders on Pokemon while playing the Game boy. We use to be those kids who would get our clothes dirty while running on a field during recess. We use to have all this time in the world to dream up fantasies of extraordinary things while not quite having to face the harsh world just yet. And we use to just be kids who had every possibility still ahead of them.
I don’t think anyone really expected that they would end up where they did, whether or not it’s a good or bad thing. But I’m sure many of us would love to be reacquainted with our ghosts, just to remember what it was like just before time seem to accelerate and we were thrust into facing the ‘real world’.
