Sometimes in life, we keep chasing for more. We forget to look back from the past; we forget to appreciate what we have and how much we have grown.
They always say to move forward and never look back. But honestly, for me looking back is essential to human growth. By looking back, it makes you feel things. Nostalgia — long for something that happened long ago. You get to relive memories. It makes you feel happy and sad at the same time; you get to enjoy the fun memories and sad because some people are no longer part of your life. Grateful — because you get to experience everything, you get to feel emotions you thought you’d never feel, you get to have beautiful memories you can always look back on, you get to have your own story, you get to be part of someone’s story whether it is good or not and you get to witness your own and someone’s growth.
Being able to look back and have different realizations and perspective after is such a blessing. You will get to understand things you didn’t understand before. You get to appreciate things you didn’t before.
Looking back brings growth, comfort and lessons. Life is good, sometimes we just forget.
