After my initial interview with the Office of the Vice-President yesterday, on my way home, stuck in traffic, I was listening to Rx Monster's Riot, where they play throwback hits from the early 90s to the mid 2000s, the DJ asked a question, "what if a genie appears and he grants you one wish, what will be your wish?"
Most of the listeners sent in their answers, and they wish to come back to the days when they were young. Based on this, the DJ concluded that most of us are having a hard time adjusting to adulthood. That all of us are first timers, at walang nakakaalam kahit isa satin, how hard our adult life can be.
This is exactly what I have been feeling and thinking as well. If I had only known how difficult my life would be, I would not have wasted so much time and opportunity to gather and bring all the resources I need from my past to my present adult life.
But this isn't just about finances; this is about attachment as well. Like in my case. I keep dreaming of our old house, my grandparents who are gone, and some people that I haven't been with for quite some time now. You see, it is not all about the changes, but the attachment to people as well that makes adulthood difficult.
A few days ago, I read an Instagram post from one of the female celebrities that I follow. Her post talks about how people tend to have different recollections of the past. That the way we remember the past might not be the same way it really happened. This is maybe because of emotions.
Whenever we go to a certain place, hear a song, or see a photo that reminds us of something from the past, we tend to feel nostalgic, and we start to reminisce. And this is when our emotions start to distort our memories of what really happened during that time. All we remember is the good stuff, and that is what makes us attached and cling to the past. And then we realize that we are no longer in the past.
It will always be good to remember every good stuff that happened in the past, but we have to realize that we are no longer living in that era. We have to everything we can to move on from that, coz what matters is now,and what it is in the past!!!
