I was looking for some photographs for the Creative Writing Session. As I glanced through some of my photographs, I begin to realize how important memories were. Sweet, Bitter, Sour, Painful and all…
Memories are such precious and priceless gifts that no amount of money can be used in exchange. They seem so worthless yet it’s embedded deep down within our hearts. Relationships, friendships, kinships, heartaches, betrayal… They are such important experiences that shape a strong me today. I figured how often I take life and people around me for granted. This is often in the case of a relationship. Regrets often come to play but I’ve learnt that crying over spilt milk will not make the situation any better.
I’ve also learnt that there are times when I should just pack my bag and leave. Far away from that place of sadness, that world of excruciating emotional torment. These are times when I hold back, pause and start to think it through. Listen to my heart, my soul and me. All that matters now is how I’ll stand up strong on my feet and approach the various situations that come my way. How I slowly open up and make space for that room of forgiveness and learning to let go. I realized that holding on to something too tightly will most probably in turn hurt you even more.
Thus, learning to let go and to find that courage of searching for another beam of hope is very essential.
I look back at my memories, arranged them accordingly into their chapters, seal them up nicely, waved them goodbye and go all out, in search for a brand new chapter to add on to that priceless book of mine.
