Funny How Things Can Change

Have you ever reached the point when you just realized that things are better before/after?

When you remember your childhood, where things are too cheap compared to your demands today. From your small toys to your toys today (I'm talking 'bout toys for the big boys).

Nobody said that you must have this and that; you are just following the trend. If you reached this point where you put together your childhood toys and your toys today, then at that moment you will realize that it's funny how things can change.

Still in childhood, where you have your childhood sweetheart and things were not so much important that you have only concerned about playing with each other and messing around. That playing with each other on the playground is enough to please one another.

But when the both of you become grown-ups, you then realize that every single second you were together is important. That being in the playground together as grown-ups to make it sweet is not too much because she wants it more, she wants to explore the world more with you together. Then after she said that, you will tell her that things are better when we were in our childhood days.

When you are to attend your alumni homecoming and also to visit your alma mater, where you have graduated and felt all the feelings and experiences you’ll never have again, to be a high school student. Yes, and now you are there, standing in the front of your school trying to distinguish of what went wrong or maybe what went right.

And of course, the only thing you could do first is to visit your favorite hangout place where at that moment, you could still perceive your mark of remembrance, that mark maybe your name, signature, or even a thing that you could remember after so many years, just to make yourself feel like you have made a mark on your school (in your own little way). In the event, you would like to meet your old acquaintances in high school, where these people you know are not yet to be called as friends because you don’t have that closeness in your high school days like your friends have.

Maybe the reason why you never had that closeness in high school is because you don’t like each other. And now, as grownups, you realize that you have things or even one thing in common and that particular thing that you have in common could make you as friends as for now or maybe for now on. And of course, you would also like to meet your teachers, where these people taught and shared you things and thoughts about what will happen in the real world we are heading.

And now you like them to know that you have changed because of their lectures and lessons in life they taught for all of their students. Especially, to your favorite teacher (and maybe you are her favorite student), where this teacher have shared things and secrets in life to you, and now you said to that particular teacher that you applied that secret to your life today and said that it had been effective for a quite long time or even up to that day.

And at the moment you said it, you made your teacher felt what teachers wanted to feel and that is to know that your teacher touched even a single student simple life. And last but surely not the least among you would like to meet in your alumni homecoming, are your best of friends. Yes, the only first thing you would do is not to chat around with another people but to bring back the memories while sitting to your favorite hangout place when you were high school students.

Reminiscing the moments when you were, violating rules, cutting classes, and making fun of your classmates. Yes, after you brought back those times, you recognize that the event is over. The time comes to leave the campus. And realizes that time flies when you’re having fun and there is something telling you that you should write in the table of your favorite hangout place just to mark your alumni homecoming day.

When you are just dreaming, suddenly you are thinking about being what you want to be in the mere future. Then after that brainstorming between you (your body) and your willingness (your spirit), you are now convinced of finding the new perspective in your life, the priorities, the lifestyle that can help you achieve what you want to be, and more importantly, something that can strengthen the belief that you can achieve (eliminate those distractions and discouragement in your life and having the faith in God).

After all of this, you then realized that having all of this lifestyles and priorities in life, you are not the only one benefiting from what you achieved but also you can tell others that having a dream before can affect what your life today is, so dream big.

In conclusion, there's a lot of things that can change us, in a moment, in one night only, or in a lifetime. And if you look things back and said funny how things can change then you have your moving chains with you and if you look things forward and forget the old you, you will now have the chains that can keep you of what you are now today.

But there is only one thing that is constant in this world, and that is change. So now, the floor is yours, if you will continue the way you are right now or finding the new perspective in your life (I'm talking 'bout finding the more worthy priorities in life, then if you already have those, live with it but if none just search for it with all your heart and you will find it).

As all should have known that there is God that He has a plan for you no matter who you are right now. That God always gives us another day to live and to fix what implications you have yesterday and He just let us find our purpose here on Earth. He has a great plan ahead of you, but still isn't it funny how things can change. God Bless!
