Looking back on life is like flipping through an old photo album. The memories are faded, but the emotions they stir up are still just as vivid.

It’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day hustle and bustle and forget to reflect on all the incredible experiences we’ve had. As I look back on my life, I realize that it’s been like a rollercoaster ride with unexpected twists and turns. Some moments exhilarating, others nerve-wracking, and sometimes, just mundane, bridging the gap between highs and lows.
When I think about the good times, I compare it to a warm blanket on a chilly night. It’s comforting to recall all the happy moments that have brought joy and laughter into my life and made it all worth living. Whether it was backpacking with friends or watching the sunset on an exotic beach, I’m reminded of the excitement and pure bliss that those moments brought my way.
But, unfortunately, life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. At some points, it rained, and it poured, and I felt defeated. During those harder times, it’s easy to feel like a fish out of water, struggling to swim upstream and wondering how they can make it out of the challenges they’re facing. However, I look back on them now like the clouds that loom over us; passing. It isn’t easy to pass through dark times, but it’s essential to understand that light will eventually forge its way through those dark clouds. Every adversity eventually comes to an end, even though it may not seem like it at the time. During these times, holding out hope helped me push through challenges and come out stronger on the other end.
It’s essential to remember that, ultimately, life is all about balance. The ebbs and flows of personal growth can’t avoid any of us in our lives journey. Embracing both the ups and downs has helped my perspective of situations and embracing them holistically. Throughout life, we are given opportunities to learn and grow, and we should always appreciate them. When we shuffle back through the moments worth remembering, we realize that the valuable growth doesn’t only come from our highlight moments but all moments.
As I venture forward, reflecting on my journey so far—it feels almost surreal, like a dream within a dream. Everything has changed so much and so fast, but when I take a step back to appreciate the whole picture, I see that I’ve accomplished so much, and my journey is still only the beginning. The beauty in life is that we don’t know where it’ll take us next, and that’s the most exciting part of the journey. Life is too short to live it unhappily. Even during the most trying times, I learned how to find joy and cherish the moment—I only hope that as I cross the threshold into a new chapter in life, I’ll continuously find the light in the dark.
