It will be a grave disappointment if you try to relive an event that happened in the past. Time changes things quickly. The old buildings you remember might be torn down. People you remember may be gone now.
I went to a town as a child; it was completely different when I returned as an adult. The city was a tourist trap now and had lost its appealing charmed years ago. I went to the town where my Mother was born when I was 20. The old hometown grocery store, her school, and the house her father built were still there. I returned to her hometown 25 years later, and everything had been torn down and replaced with new buildings.
If you attended a fun event years ago and think you can recreate the event again, think again. Life is full of constant changes, which is a good thing. You can attend a new event and have fond memories of that event for years to come. I remember the people that have owned and operated stores years ago. I have many beautiful memories of the people I have met along life’s Hi-Way.
Change is what makes the world continue to grow and not stagnate. Buildings get old and are beyond repair and eventually have to be replaced with new ones that fit the times we live in now. We can remember the past and hold it deeply in our hearts, but we cannot recreate the past event. History means it is in the past, and it has passed by.
We all struggle with the past. Some of us want to buy a car like we had when we were young. People like to purchase old toys. They see if it is one they had as a child. We want to hang onto our youth as long as we possibly can. Remember the people, places, and events that have made you happy throughout your life but do not try to recreate the particular event. Life keeps moving forward daily with a new event or moment every day. Live your life to its full potential.
