The Time of the year has arrived...the one particular time when I will do a thorough spring cleaning. Usually, I would throw at least a big bag of junks but due to my efficiencies, the number of bags has now been reduced to one.
(Very proud here.. ^^oVO )
This year is quite something,really...because I have decided to throw away all my...Memories.
Haha...melanchonic and as dramatic as (I'm trying to make) it sounds, I used to write diaries and now I have decided that I should part with them...my deepest secrets and fears, hopes and dreams, fantasies and realities...I have finally decided to put a tragic end to my written past. For one, I no longer write in my diary anymore and secondly, a written diary is the biggest mistake anyone could do. One glance into it would reveal the many perspectives of yourself...even the one that you are trying to discover.
It is an entertainment to the writer when he or she read back about his or her past...my memories have always reminded me of a naive and confused child who was trying to get hold of herself and to find a footing in the world. That was the reason I was keeping those diaries. Well, it amuses me to realize that my vocabulary has transformed so much over these years and to recap on the events that had happened are both a joy and a pain.
But it hit me that if these little secrets which are meant just for myself were somehow discovered by a second person...
Well, I know that I will never be able to forgive such an act.
Anyways, the pages of my diaries were set ablaze. I am no longer that confused child who was discovering the world and not knowing what I want. I have a direction now and have also found a trusted confidant. Therefore, I no longer need a diary...and no longer need to read on my history.
So, if you have a habit of writing in a diary and think that your thoughts are safe in the pages which are locked away in an undisclosed and hidden safe...THINK AGAIN. Nothing is ever Safe. It's best for you to burn the pages and keep your memories only as a memory. Carbon copies can be your biggest regrets.
