We can’t truly realize the changes in our lives right away. Time helps us make the difference between “who I was”, “who I am” and “who I will be”. Time goes and never comes back, photographies and memories being the only ones that keep our old selves intact, reminding of whom we used to be. Of course, appearance isn’t the only thing changing. We also grow up mentally, beginning to understand feelings that were unknown to us before. It helps us “survive”. But, everybody must know and understand that’s not you the one who truly changed. Time did it.
It is like your own mother opening an old album and watching with sparkling eyes the pictures of a newborn that is supposed to be you. Your face is filled with amazement as she says “Aww, look how little you were back then.” You were, because you aren’t anymore. The past remains. The present is our current battle. The future depends on what we do. Ageing up brings us to the right time in doing the right things.
Someone wise said “The changing is constant, the signal for rebirth, phoenix’s egg.” Once then change has happened, you feel different, act differently, maybe, even see the world differently. In other words, it’s a new self, awoken into the body and with the mind which had to change, in order to face the problems that would appear during lifetime.
Think about who you are and who you were. Tell me. Are you any different ?
