funny how the slightest thing can trigger a flood of memories that just threatens to engulf your entire being. i was watching story of time (光陰的故事) the other day and a scene about childhood friends reuniting for one last time before someone has to fly away had me reminising about my own childhood, and how it had become a thing of the past.

while there was no way that we can go back in time (or at least until someone invents a time travelling machine), taking a minute or five to relish the good old days was rather fufilling for it helped put things in perspective. i've been feeling rather adrift these days for there's been nothing to look forward to nor acheive, but this break from reality provided me with a much needed anchor.

drawing strength from the past to face the challenges of the future.

now that's a thought.
