Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today's topic is from Ladies of Hive, which says:
A mystical and powerful being offers you the chance to reincarnate, but you must choose between two options: the first is to keep the memories of your past life but without meeting the same people again. The second option is to forget everything but find the same people around you reincarnated just like you. Which would you choose and why? I choose number two options. So let's dive in.
Let Imagine I die and I get to have the second chance to be reincarnated as a new person. Like a fresh start. My formal name was changed; I get to have a new life different from the past. But the only thing is: I won't remember anything related to my past life, my family, or my friends—like everything wiped out, making me not remember I was born before. Another interesting part is that even though I forget everything, the people from my past life, my loved ones, will also be reincarnated, just like me, and they won't remember anything either.
Although I might not recognise them, but there will be this strong feeling inside me whenever I meet them, like, "Have I met these people before?" I may not remember their names or the past I shared with them, but the connection will still be there. Even though I didn't know them again in my present life, I would feel safe with them and also become close with them again. For instance, my past friends might be my neighbours this time. But the bond will still be there. I won't be carrying the pain or regrets from the past life. I will get to love, trust, and enjoy life again with a clean heart. It sounds like a whiteboard that we write something on and clean it. That's how it will be. I will start fresh, but I get to have those people close to me. I would laugh like before, cry together with them, make new memories, go to places I was unable to go in my past life, and find comfort in each other's hands.

Even though I don't know it because I've forgotten about my past, I will have it in back of my mind "I've found my people again", which is good. The best part of it is that we don't need to remember everything to feel love. What really matters most is being surrounded by people who truly love us and make life worth living. However, it's not always about remembering the past but about the feeling such as; the closeness, the care, the love, and the happiness we get when we're with the right people who surround us.
Why do I choose option 2?
The reason why I choose it is because some memories fade, but love remains. Even if I don't remember who my loved one was in my present life, the feeling I had with them, the love, laughter, and peace, will still be inside me.
Another reason I choose it is because I believe that the best part of life lives in relationships—the people I eat with, cry with, joke with, etc. I just choose peace over pain. I didn't want to carry the weight of past regrets or mistakes with me. So I would rather feel true connection again than walk alone with a full memory.
In conclusion, if I had the chance to start life again, I would take it. Even if I don't remember anything, I'd still want to be with my people.
