Girl looking at the past.

Friday 21st November 2008.

Have you ever had a day that brought you rushing into your past?
Today is another step into my new life, however as I'm walking into it I seemed to have stopped to turn around and be reminded of how it used to be - perhaps how it should have been. I guess life isn't about 'should have been'.
It's a nice reminder and lovely to recall some of the happiest times of my life, as long as I remember that they're in the past. Happy times can be recreated in new adventures.
The happiest times in your life are often those that were never amazingly outstanding at the time, but when you look back on them you think that it couldn't have been any better... if only you'd have appreciated it a little more at the time. Or is that not the case at all? Maybe just because it isn't perfect right now we fool ourselves into believeing that perhaps that was perfection? Maybe neither were, we just still haven't found it yet.
I guess all we can do is continue along our path in hope of finding this 'perfection' somewhere along the way.

The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself. - Anna Quindlen.
