It gets scary sometimes, when you try to repeat something again and again. You say a word twenty times and it sounds like gibberish. You walk the same road often and you forget you’re walking. You read the same sentences, hear the same phrases, feel the same feeling, so many times, and you forget why it’s special.
It’s scary to realize that if one gets too happy- they forget what happiness truly is. And it aches to realize that maybe if you watch the sunset too often, the sky won’t be as colourful as before. If you try so hard to make these ‘moments’ in life, they won’t be ‘moments’ anymore.
Unless we keep the darker moments, the struggles, in our mind, we won’t be able to appreciate what’s happening. Unless we remember what sadness and tears were like and hold that image in our minds, we won’t be able to realize joy and euphoria- when in front of us.
It’s like being on an airplane, or climbing a mountain. We don’t realize how high up we are till we look down and feel our hearts pounding against the wind. It’s only in realizing our downsides do we enjoy the ups, and it’s only in remembering are we able to move on to newer experiences.
