"It is not terrifying to know sorrow.
Terrifying is to know you can't go back
to the happiness you could have."
- Bleach (manga taglines)
When I look back at my days as a secondary school student, I start to think. Will I ever be as happy as I was back then? With no worries and sorrow? There's so many questions that's going on in my mind. How everything has affected me thus far... I wonder if it's possible to be as happy as I was back then.
"Is it okay to be happy again?"
"What if this happiness doesn't last?"
"Will I fall back into the very same pit of sorrow?"
"Will I still have the energy to fight?"
"What if I don't make it out this time?"
So many questions and yet none has been answered. I don't know what's going to happen in the future. Nobody knows. We're not psychic. We can only face the present and look back at our past. All we can do is prepare for the future. The future with millions of possibilities, millions of choices.
I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I'll make the wrong choices. I'm afraid I'll be robbed from the happiness I so desperately cling onto. I don't want to go back to those days where I had to force a smile in front of everyone. I'm really happy with my life right now and I don't want it to change, but let's face the fact that changes are inevitable, be it good or bad. Something's bound to change.
And you know what? When the time comes, I just hope that I'll be able to move forward as I did back then.
Well, this definitely got me thinking. It's so weird that I think of such things so early in the morning. Something must be wrong with me. The lack of sleep maybe? Who knows eh.
