Memory Lane
When we’re young we learn our key lessons. We learn how to get through the days. We learn how to cope. We learn the things that we will take with us throughout our whole journey. We go through moments that are hard. We go through moments that are beautiful. We go through the highest most amazing times in our lives and we go through a dark time where there are fake smiles and fake laughs. The one thing they all have in common is that they’re in the past. They’re all memories waiting to be made. They’re all part of the path we are taking. They are what we will look at in the future. They are what we remember. They are the reasons, they are the excuses, they are the things pushing us to tomorrow. They are the things that get us through the next sunset and sunrise. And those moments when we’re remembering, they’re so bittersweet. They provide so much hope, so much happiness, and yet a sorrow that that was who we used to be. That our thoughts could have been that naive. The moments we go through, they all make up this road. This path. This lane. A lane filled with tears. A lane filled with laughter. A lane filled with time. Time gained and time lost. A lane where our hearts lie, a lane where lies the truth of who we are. A lane that leads to whatever’s next. A lane that leads to whatever memory we relive. A memory lane. A memory lane of forgiveness and peace. A memory lane where there is no regret. A memory lane where the hypothetical has free roam. A memory lane where we could lie forever. A memory lane where we could face our fears. A memory lane where we find ourselves. Where we find our homes. A memory lane where we find the truth… In this lane lie the answers to our past and our future. In this lane lies who we were, who we are, and who we will be.
