An Amazing Transformation.

Transformation is inevitable at some stage of our lives; it can occur at an early or later stage. But in all, we are bound to undergo metamorphosis. Though, as humans, we might see it as growth or change. It can come in physical appearance, mental stability, maturity, character-wise, and a lot more.

These phases most of the time don't come so obviously to detect; they're most of the time gradual and build over time. Then, when we look back at our past, we realize how much we have changed. We realized that we are not our former selves anymore.

It feels like something was lost that we can't get back again. Sometimes it comes with regrets, or maybe something we long for that we can't get back again. At times when we stare at our pictures as kids. So much comes to mind. We think about life so much that “only if” we could turn back the hands of time, then we might get such beauty again, or maybe get that peaceful heart again.

I have told my younger brother that time is valued only when you use it wisely because it waits for no one. I will always remember how I spent my younger days, and my heart wishes I could go back to make some corrections. But he is still at that stage now and has the chance to do that as much.

As we grow older, our hearts will wish for younger days. My younger days were actually great, and I am glad they shaped me into who I am presently.

I have been the playful type, a free-minded type, one who jokes a lot. But as time passed by, I began to realize that all of those had changed. From the playful type, I became extremely serious and committed to my life. Those free minds are now so heavy with aspirations and desires. And the jokeful part of me remained, but it had become extremely low.

Who am I?

I am just a soul who is ambitious and curious about who I truly am. I have gradually begun to unleash some potential in me that I never thought I had while I was younger. The younger me was so scared and fearful. But now I have grown to become courageous and even stronger than I could have been.

My dreams while I was younger still remained the same. I just made sure it becomes a reality, and that’s actually a part of what shaped my life and changed me, too. The difference between dreams and reality has tuned me and made me let go of a lot of things I never expected; it made me adjust to some other things along the line.

The journey of growth has made me make a lot of sacrifices, a lot of tough choices, take a lot of risky decisions, let go of a lot of people, and linked me up with many others. But I am still grateful because my past was recent at some time, and now my present will one day become a past, and so the cycle continues.
