Malaya: Would it be the same?

Written by Cindy O. Monterey

Many would say that the “past is past and it never comes back,” but is there a moment in your life where soft whispers of ‘what if’s’ cross your mind? 

We are in a world where time flies so fast. Everything we do happens in the snap of our fingers, gone before you know it. Everyone is rushing to move forward. 

In this fast-paced world, we can still see those who are content with where they are, yet others are still wondering if they are on the right track, reflecting and thinking whether their lives would be different had they chosen a different path. 

In between living and chasing our dreams, there are moments when our ghosts give shivers in our bodies and frisk us for a while. We start to ask ourselves questions to look back where things may have gone differently, but we cannot do anything about it anymore. Sometimes, it is frustrating to think that maybe we’d be in a better place if we had chosen a different path, or if we had done things that are not supposed to be done. 

I still believe that everything happens for a reason and that fate does not lead us here in vain. Our past should not hinder us from progressing, but rather serve as a weapon to reach our goals and fulfill our purpose in life.
