As more time passes, I keep having all these amazing and realistic thoughts through them I've come to yet another conclusion. The realization I've had is that things cannot stay the same forever. If they did, we would never see how special life really is.
It seems sad that things have to change, but if we appreciate what we have before it's gone, we'll be left with that feeling of all our memories from it, not our sadness from it being gone. Time passes, but the memories remain.
When I was upstairs spinning vinyl the other day, my parents were outside moving our old van since we're going to get rid of it. When I saw it in the driveway after they finished moving it, I didn't feel the least bit sad, I was actually reminded of all the experiences and adventures we had in that car, and it brought me back to when we were younger. That was then, and this is now, but we don't forget what shapes us.
Anyway, what I'm trying to get across here is that, we all have experiences that shape us, and we need to treasure what we have while we have it. More importantly, while we need to treasure this time, we must also look to the future, because the future is always coming at us, and the past fades away in reality, but it will always remain in our hearts as the memories we will always remember. It's an amazing thing about being human. We can experience so much, and it can leave us physically, and it remains in our minds.
