the building blocks of who you are TODAY

            Do you remember certain people from your past? Who are those people? Have they meant that much to you and helped you be who you are today? Before we became who we are today, people we've been together with before especially those whom we've met in school have all contributed to the whole process of being who we are today. From the most blissful-naive to the teenage bitter-sweet experience, we should be grateful to have those kinds of experiences. Almost everyone who have been with us in our journey seem to be essential even the ones whom we've cared the least or hated the most. A greater percentage of the people from our past have turned the other direction when we reached the crossroads for they also have a different dream to pursue in life. If it wasn't for them, we may be stuck in the traffic with no traffic lights on to guide us and we can't be who we are today. Reminiscing back our past that's full of memories seems to be nostalgic. Every now and then we will seek for a place in our memories we have kept all of those remarkable memories we've shared. The building blocks of who we are to day do not merely consist of those who are good and delightful but it also includes those who have inflicted pain on us and made us feel sad. We could  never experience those kinds of days anymore and the way they used to be can never be brought back because that's just how things are. People do change but this doesn't give us a reason to forget them. You could never be the best of who you are today without them.
