2012 came to a close less than a week ago. No matter how many regrets you amassed
or despite all the joyful memories you had with loved ones, 2012
is forever lost to us. There's no turning back. We have to keep moving
forward and take everything with a grain of salt.
But
moving forward without looking back once in a while is a little too cold-hearted, isn't it? It's healthy to occasionally take a trip down
memory lane. It keeps you sane and less arrogant (because the past
continues to remind you of everything you buried and refuse to
bury). The past is a big bank of memories - good, bad, funny,
serious, life-threatening, boring, insignificant, turning points,
traumas, failures, successes, struggles, comebacks - you can always
look back on for whatever purpose such an undertaking may serve you.
