without knowing where we'd end up or how much fun we'd have in one short weekend.
Sometimes it's those memories you wanna grow old remembering. It's those memories that you can keep talking about when you get together for dinners in your "mid twenties to late twenties."
I never thought I would be able to convince anyone to "just bring your toothbrush, we're leaving for vegas in 4 hours." Spontaneous trips like that are hard to come by.
Memories of playing hide-and-seek in the dark one night cos we were bored and didn't know what else to do. That was the best hide and seek game i've ever played.
Having a girls day out. Fun local adventures to our very own china town.
Memories that I clearly remember even if my husband doesn't think I do
I know things are different now and the past can't be the present... which in some ways is good cos i rather be married than "just friends"... but there's a part of me that resists growing up cos of those
memories of being carefree and living in the moment.
I'm thankful that even though the dynamics of some friendships are different now, some are so much better than before.
This friend of mine above told me once that I should do these kinda reminiscing when i'm old and grey and can't create any more memories... but I think remembering and being thankful for those good memories that were created help me see how much i've grown and puts life in perspective for me.
I'm so thankful for pictures.
I'm so thankful for good friends.
I'm thankful for the past.
But even after all this reminiscing... i realize that i'm more thankful for the present.
I wouldn't have been who I am today without my past. It shaped me, molded me, pushed me to be better, stronger and helped me face reality. My present will one day be my past, and I'm sure I'll look back on it then and "remember the good times when..." but until then... I wanna soak in the present and create even more memories, take even more pictures so I can remind myself of... life.
