Hello, I hope you are all very well here. This is my first reflection in this interesting community, although it will not be the last, today I share with you a reflection on life and its changes and how they are better than we think.
When I was a kid, I remember clearly as if it was a few days ago, that my dad gave me a Spider-Man doll, and I carried it with me everywhere, sometimes I hid it in my bag so my parents wouldn't tell me anything and it was so important to me, that I carried it with me always and just the fact of carrying it made me feel happy.
I have talked to a few friends and almost all of us have a memory like that, a toy that made us happy. It was our playmate and even our life companion, because some of us couldn't live without those toys. But I ask them What happened to them, do they keep it, did they give it away, did they lose it or what? None of them still have it and although they remember it as something nice that happened to them, they know it is just that, a memory.
And that is where I think and say that life is change and with the passage of time, everything turns and becomes completely different from what it was. What we like, what we feel and what we choose is no longer the same as when we were little, in fact it is not even the same as it was one or two years ago. What we liked is no longer what we liked and what entertained us is now boring. For example, I no longer watch some movies that used to make me laugh, because I no longer see the fun in them.
There are many things that we live in a short time and these things make us change how we see life and everything else, looking back I wonder how I was able to make certain jokes in bad taste or how I went out with people who really did not bring me anything good, and when I think that the only thing that comes to mind is how much I have changed, and I'm not the only one because we all always do.
I remember with nostalgia and affection the Spider-Man that my dad gave me, but even if I had it again I will not feel like I felt as a kid, a toy can no longer give me that sense of security that it used to give me, and although sometimes I suffer a little for having grown up, I'm glad I learned some things while I was doing it and see that I have improved since then. I still like Spider-Man, but I appreciate more the fact that my dad had a detail with me, than the detail itself.
I'm an adult now, but just like a kid I'm still growing and that's what I like most about life, I can keep learning and above all striving to cultivate a better personality, being a better person and trying to correct what's wrong with me, even if it takes me time. The changes are good and although I am not the person I was yesterday and I remember it fondly, the person I am today has learned a lot.
I hope you like what I have shared with you, until next time, your friend @jackdeathblack bids you farewell.
