So I just binge watched a web show on YouTube (Yes, this platform also recommends you some good miniseries at times😄) called “A summer story”. It’s a wonderful slice of life drama which is endearing and covers a lot of aspects of the life of people in their twenties. Meanwhile, nostalgia hit me really hard when a group of friends staying together in a flat and doing all the night fun which we used to do during our hostel days no matter how terrible our day has been. Ahh! Why time travel is not possible? Wish I could back in time.
Have you ever had this feeling when a particular moment or incident made you think that God! Wish I could go back to those days… A time when you were truly yourself, a time when you were genuinely happy from inside out, when you were enjoying a good company keeping aside all your worries and stress, when everything was falling at right place. Okay you might find this topic a bit irrational but I’m sure you could relate to it to some extent coz we all go through such musing very often.
Well, I undergo such thoughts quite frequently, especially when things doesn’t go great enough or I’m really missing my good old days. And this pandemic has surely forced me to think in that way. Travelling, attending concerts/gigs, good food in a fine dine restaurant or even golgappas near a street corner, hanging out with friends and going for some crazy drives are few of the major missing in 2020. Most unpredictable time in human history! Isn’t it?
Many a times, we wish to go back to our childhood days as well. Because as we grew up, we realized that those heaviest bags were the lightest burden we carried. Oh, Instagram make me read such kind of quotes a lot😉
So these are some blissful moments which we want to relieve. Now let’s discuss about those unclosed chapters that lay scattered.
NOT EVERY BLOOPER IS MEANT TO MAKE YOU LAUGH
We also wish to reverse the time to make things right, as there are certain blunders due to which we are unable to move on. Some serious life bloopers really force us to rethink. We feel like those chapters are calling us back to them. The ignored aspects of our lives are demanding attention. But I don’t get one thing, why do we lay more stress on correcting our past mistakes rather than accepting them and try to be a better person? Why spoil your present because of something which is related to your past? Life requires you to jump. Don’t be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have or could have had. No one waits forever.
LIFE GOES ON
”My present is full of amazing people, but somehow, the people in my past hold the same importance till date. All in all, I miss them a hell lot”. This happens with everyone. All of us create certain bond with someone that once meant everything to us. Although, they never ended, they faded away with a time. And somewhere we still hope to get those days back. Everyone knows that there’s no such time machine which could allow us to undo our regrets or relive our favorite moments. And here the only thing that strikes us is “life moves on, so we carry on with life.”
I so wish it could be that easy. But sooner or later, you will come to terms with reality. So try and be as passive as possible. You can also learn from others which is a lot faster than trying to figure everything out for yourself.
Google gave me an apt quote for my state of mind:
Renew, release, let go. Yesterday’s gone. There’s nothing you can do to bring it back. You can only DO something is Renew yourself and Release that attachment. Today is a new day!🌞
I tried my best to explain the analogy between joyful and gloomy past. I’m curious what you think! Share your favorite moments in the comment section which you wish to relive or any dreadful thought which daunts you till date 🙂
