Revisitations

Revisitations-

It's done day in and out, whether one is conscious of it or not.

Some, given their regular frequencies, become habits and routine. Others get dropped along the way, or are overwritten by more imminent/recent moments - in the mind's very limited memory space.

While they may be relegated to a small section and archived away, its amazing how much emotions revisiting those moments can evoke - of surprise, nostalgia, disappointment , regret amongst many others.

  • That section in the supermarket, where one could take a shortcut to the exit by squeezing through the narrow alleyway
  • That bowl of beef noodles whose tepid soup, tough beef slices and bland chili paled terribly with what used to be served
  • That song from a while back, whose lyrics still came back to you, assaults the senses and floods you with the nuances and flashbacks
  • That fren, all the easy teasing and crappy jokes, that chemistry that makes one ruminate and wander of possibilities.Another fren, all conversations strained, with nothing much left to talk about, whom you seems to share nothing in common anymore.

    Some of which made me remember why they have occupied such a big portion of my heart and mind at a certain point in the past, some made me try hard to grasp and reason, why it was ever important in my life.Some deja vu, some totally distanced and severed from my current life.

Yesterday: Shaped, blended in , rehashed - by time, perspectives, people, experiences.

Tomorrow: I pray that I would let God take the steering wheel without me trying to put my hands on the brakes.
