Replay + Restart





Replay! Replay! The whole school year like a bittersweet song I would replay it over again. But I can't and that's the most difficult thing about moving on. It's like rock climbing down. You stand at the top of the rock wall, clinging to the rope, frozen and afraid of falling even though you know it's the only way down. You're there now, you choose that path for yourself and chickening out is not an option. You start to lean backwards knowing there's nothing to really catch you except your own feet. You fall, it feels good, dangerous at first then it feels natural. You're in control of what happens when you go down. Sometimes you trip as you go down but most times you land with both feet on the ground. Moving on and letting the past be sounds unbearable yet it's for the best.

I've just graduated from 8th Grade.  I love my homebase class. It has been a long time since I've felt accepted and loved in school considering I was the only foreigner at my old school. My homebase here is like a bag of candies. Some of us have that sour outer coating to get to the sweet nice inside, like a Skittle Sour candy. Others you know what they're like by the look of their wrapper. Either way it takes a bit of digging to know one another. My homebase is (I'm still finding it hard to think of it in the past) loveable. We knew each other. On the last day we grouped hugged each other for a good 20 seconds. Surrounded by warmth and love, remembering the past but not living in it.

I need to move on. Everyone needs to keep going and press the restart button at some point. If we keep pressing the replay button our whole lives will just keep repeating with no changes. How boring and dull is that? We'll be miserable people. Wishing that this moment was perfect and what if this happened... Moments were created like they are because you choose the way that it was suppose to happen. If that moment didn't happen the happy events after that won't happen either. Think about the positive things. Those "what if?" moments can be fixed too. Just confront that person and ask them what would happen if this happened. Relief will go through you. That never ending feeling of curiosity is lifted off your chest and you won't be haunted by what would happen.

Moving on is essential or else you won't get anywhere.
Every moment has a purpose and meaning because good things come from that.
What if moments can be solved as long as you've the guts to confront that person.

  1. That was beautiful... :') I have always felt that way when I left my class to graduate so I can truly relate on how you are feeling right now. The moment when you know you have to let go (because you have to go home and the bus was waiting for you) but you just don't, you can't because you're afraid of losing them if you let go... but you are right, we have to move on, find and love new things and new people. That was truly beautiful, it touched my heart. Thank you... <3
