Dreams. We all dream. When there's really nothing to lose and everything to prove, we dream. We were glowing, filled with the innocence people with age can only look upon with envy. We had our glorious days. We held strict values and ideals of what is right and what is wrong. We make no excuses for doing the wrong thing. We never bend the rules to match our will. We are alive and joyous and the world to us is one big mystery waiting to be uncovered. Years have passed and we are not the same. An event, or time passing.. it changes us. It opens us up to the truth. What went wrong? And we can only look back at a time when everything was as simple as it looked. And now it is our turn.. to look upon the younger ones, with their innocence and their joys, with envy. How did we ever come so far without learning a thing? We see so much yet we'd like nothing more than to go back and undo the things we've done. With time so precious, time so significant.. How we have been warned so much about wasting such as a single drop of a second, a minute, a lifetime.. for all the dire consequences it held. We had the purest intentions, self-motivations, shaped by everything we touch, smell, see, taste and feel.. We had choices, different choices and the more we make them, the more we lose everything until all that is left is one big choice that will define us forever. Are we good or are we evil? We are all angels to some, and monsters to some as well.. Yet the final question is, who are we to ourselves? It doesn't matter if we die not leaving a legacy to the world, what matters is the legacy we bring with us to the next life. What matters is how we've made amends with ourselves.. Have we or have we not forgiven ourselves for ever losing the innocence we once had? For making one seemingly wrong choice after another, ultimately leading to our regret. We are human, and we only get one shot at being who we are, so uniquely refined.. The world will never miss our absence, others are too proud to think otherwise.. I don't want to die wishing I was still young, unscathed, and fearless.
