Looking back on life

Y'all know.. I haven't posted in a long time.. well.. basically.. it's because I don't have anymore interests in writing a blog anymore.. I used to think that blogging was good for several reasons: improve writing.. to release pent-up frustrations.. to share your thoughts with the whole world and friends..

But now I know.. it's not that simple.. It takes dedication, time and energy to maintain a blog.. it takes a lot of emotion.. to put down into writings about things that happened earlier in the day.. sometimes.. some things are too difficult.. too painful to put down.. to revisit..

Our mind is very wonderful.. almost anything.. we can revisit.. in detail.. reliving some moments that are cherished.. that are impressionable.. and yet.. why is it that there are some things that we do not wish to remember.. and yet.. it keeps bouncing around in our mind.. over and over again.. 

I mean.. don't you remember those moments? The moments where you hurt members of your family with a few words? Those words you used on your friends in the heat of the moment? The break ups in our lives? Do you wish those moments could be taken back? Could be changed?

Sadly.. life is like going on a ride.. a one way ride.. with no way to get back.. to relieve moments.. to change decisions.. everything we do.. we only have one chance.. and once it's gone.. Poof! It's gone! No use crying over split milk!

This was something I wrote for an assignment..

Life,
is like a roller coaster ride,
for the first time.
Has its ups and downs,
twists and turns,
surprising one at every corner.

Each corner,
is a new challenge,
a new obstacle to overcome.
The only thing saving you,
from a deadly fall,
is the guard rail,
that holds you closely,
protects you,
like a friend,
like a lover,
like a family member

Every twist and turn,
every up and down,
it is there,
without fail.
Offering you support,
protecting you,
least you fall.

At the end,
what's left with one,
are memories,
of the ride,
of having,
someone, something,
there to support you.

Look back,
remember what it is like,
for one chance,
is all one has,
on this roller coaster of life



But.. I wonder.. if we all had chances to go back and change things.. would we change anything..?
