Trip to the Past

Memories are the strongest thing in human mind. Though we lose them, they're seemingly etched into the mind. Sometimes the bad memories are the strongest, but what would balance them but the few good. Seemingly, a person is more into losing the great memories, the memories that keep sanity around, than the bad ones that hurt us much more. The question is why?

I returned to my high school today, I recently graduated, but it's always good to think about the past four years of my life in the hallowed halls, and all the stuff I'd achieved, of all the friends I'd made, and all the bad things that have come to me recently seemingly disappeared for the few hours I was back in the old school. I remember the nonchalance of my Junior year, it only lasted my junior year, but it was probably the most I blossomed. The bad memories were gone, if only for a short period of time.

The question that comes tom ind is...if I destroy those memories for this short period of time...then why can't I do so for extended periods? To forget that something bad happened to you temporarily is so simple, but it seems that to do so for an extended amount of time is impossible for us. I leave you with this thought. Why can't we hold these bright feelings that come and go? Sometimes it's better to try to seize a moment of purity and happiness, one that's supposed to be indestructible. Give it a try, next time you're depressed, to take your mind of the depression and hold to the thoughts that bring you happiness. Slowly dissipate depression from your mind.

Decisions, Decisions

More often than not a person is confronted with the need to come to a decision about something that will transgress them intot he next area of their lives. Unfortunately, more times than not these decisions also revolve around something that will change your life in a major way. The constant thoughts that fill my mind when it comes to me making my most recent decision aren't helping me, because, well, the decision I plan to make could end up hurting both another person and myself, and when it comes to that point you have to play the good samaratin and decide whether or not another person's well being is enough to sacrafice as your own.

Throughout history, there have been numerous figures who's life decisions have changed the world for better and worse, and these decisions were basic items such as, should I do this instead of that this morning. Or maybe should I eat this instead of that. Such basic decisions seemingly create a ripple effect (The Butterfly Effect perhaps?) throughout their world and something great somehow happened to these select people. Now, I'm in no way comparing my decisions to this, but I have to say if a person can decide if they plan to eat eggs or toast this morning for breakfast, then why is it so hard for me to decide if I should or should not perform the action hidden within my mind.

There's always a feeling of guilt when the subject comes up as well. The fact that many promises are made and upon acting on this decision, those promises are broken, empty, and will leave a certain individual heartbroken and weak before me. I can't do that to another person, my inner being won't let me. So what's a man to do in this situation? Just sit back and let time pass him no matter the pain or stand up and take the reigns and make it through a major storm. Metaphorically speaking of course.
