Sometimes, I feel memories are just like photos. When photos are snapped, guess many people don't really look at it on the spot, just enjoy ourselves at that time, take as many as possible. Wait till we got back home, will view every picture observing everyone's smiles and every single beautiful places, then carefully sort every photo nicely into folders making them easier to be locate in the future.
I always thought that to look back into memories is nothing more than a cruel way to treat one self, not worse than open up an old scar, especially when you clearly know that those memories won't come back again. But, perhaps just like one old sayings, stand up from the place you fell. Guess many things can't be judged only from the surface. Sometimes, the stupidest way might be the best. By looking into memories in the past can give one the courage to continue for tomorrow.
Now, I feel looking into memories is just like looking back at old photos, each and everytime when things are done, memories are created; feelings at that moment will always be there, fix in the frame, despite how things had changed over time. No matter what decisions were to be made, what faith were to hold, what feelings were to have in the future, think only memories and feelings will always stay unchanged. Belong only to the owner, no one could grab it away.
Keeping memories well in a good place is just like keeping photos well in an album. Sometimes, I'm afraid if I don't sort them out and keep them well when I have the time to do so, I might gradually lose it in hectic daily life. And, one day, if I need it again, I probably know nowhere to find it again.
Is it true that people who understand their past well can walk into the future with great strides, simply knowing what they'd got, what they'd lost, what they want, without losing themselves?

to me, sometimes looking back to the past can be soothing... somehow in the past i seemed happier.. well.. although i haven't been to london and america then.. but still, if you ask me, i would want to go back to secondary school times..
haha okay okay.. i know you'll start shouting: xinyi!! come back to reality!!! =D
enjoy the rest of your hols! ^_~
I totally agree with what you said in the end. Things which happened may have upsetted you, but it would have taught you something, and in the end, it does make you a better person. and i feel that every memory, good and bad, are worth keeping. the good so you can look back and think about what a great time you had, and the bad so you can look back at it and never repeat it. imagine if you let all the bad memories go, if the same thing happened in the future, you would just do the same thing over and over again. =)
xin yi : school days seemed more fun because we had less things to worry about, and life was less complex then.
adelynn: yea i think that's why.. while growing up, you get to do many things that arent allowed when you were younger (remember how the amusement parks always need to measure your heights before you go on the rides?), but there might be even more things that you're missing out as you grow older (like sincere comments from people around you? everything's getting more hypocritical).
Think life really moves on, no one can forever live in the past, and guess thats also reason why memories is always a good prove for: things we once owned, places we once been to & ppl we once came across in life.
Maybe at our age, everyone sees us as a young adult, no longer a teen that can simply throw tantrums nor lose temper, expecting mature behaviours from us. Thats y we tend to be treated with those hard/cold/harsh/hypocritical words in the real world....
Think it's time we gotta provide shelter for our own instead of merely depending emotionally on parents or others, gotta be tough and sumtimes to sacrifice our once owned small yet simple happiness, rite?
彩虹天堂
我不知不觉又徘徊在从前
秋风悄悄的呼唤听来尽是孤单
落叶的期盼片片左右为难
心走寂寞攀跟著飘进黑暗
我不闻不问也许好过一点
被遗憾关在房间挣扎只是拖延
无望的空谈一声声的轻叹
回忆扯不断怎黱摆脱纠缠
找不到方向往彩虹天堂
有你说的爱在用幸福触摸忧伤
两个人相守直到白发苍苍
自由的飞翔在灿烂的星光
找不到方向往彩虹天堂
有你说的爱在用幸福触摸忧伤
两个人相守直到白发苍苍
自由的飞翔在灿烂的星光有你在我身旁
