Of Echoes & Silence

Ida Scott Taylor once wrote, “Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone, and do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.”

It’s easy to be said than done, but no matter how tough it would be, you have the choice. The choice to stumble and fall, and succumb your way into the darkness… Or be awakened and find the courage to face the darkness, and step outside.

It has always been a question in my thoughts; is it a passion for people to ruin your everyday life. There will always be something or someone. Do they find happiness? The more devastated you are, the more miserable you get, the more they’re enjoying every little bit of it.

It’s always an unexpected moment, when out of the blue you look back into your past being afraid and alone. And it got you thinking, was it right or wrong? Was it truth or lies? Was it the things you did or things you didn’t do? And slowly, you’re falling apart, weakened, and losing yourself into the darkness…

I have a friend, Inessa, as she once said, “It's pointless thinking ‘What if?’ and ‘What could have been?’ Because the most important thing is that it happened and the past shouldn't affect your present anymore than it already has”

You and I have a choice… What’s yours?

Believe me, life is worth living!
