One can never relive the past

People always speak of "how i wish i am a secondary school girl again.."

Human beings always wish to go back to the past.

To relive those wonderful memories.

But are those memories really wonderful?

Maybe yes. Maybe not.

The human memory is somewhat faulty.

Sometimes, we overglorify a memory tt we particularly like.

For example, I remembered the first time i ate the NIE mushroom minced meat noodles last year.

It was darn delicious i swear.

I was so in love with it tt i kept thinking abt the mushroom minced meat noodles, and the taste of it.

The next time i ate it was half a year later.

As you may guess, i was soo in anticipation of eating my favourite noodles, and wanted so badly to relive that taste again.

But was slightly a wee bit disappointed.

It didnt seem tt fantastic. Yes still delicious, but not thunderously delicious.

I thought i remembered it as more delicious?

Den i realised. Ah. I kept psycho-ing myself into thinking tt it's wonderful, when in actual fact, it is tt not wonderful.

The taste of the noodles is still the same. But because i thought too highly of it, tt's why i felt it wasnt tt fantastic anymore.

If there were really a time machine, probably our sec sch days wont b as fantastic as we thought.

Yes it will still be good, but somehow.. the feeling might be different.

Very often, i try to recreate feelings tt belonged to the past.

I loved to go East Coast Park when i was in JC.

I still like to go there, to relive those feelings of JC life.

But... the feeling starts to fade as time passes by.

It's inevitable.

I often thought those days were so wonderful.

But when i try to redo those things i did in the past, it just felt .... normal.

I guess we, or rather, I shouldnt miss the past too much.

Instead, cherish and totally feel the moment. the now.

Certain things, can only be felt once.
