Forget Not

There are moments in our lives when we tend to forget our core. We embrace the society's norm and live like we've never learned the things that we used to value. These times of forgetfulness carry us to a different dimension, introduces us to our other self and gives us the time to realize that, nonetheless, we are capable.

There are times when we forget - and neglect - the people who were there for us from the very beginning - the parents who never abandoned us, the friends who stayed during the tough times, the loved ones who cared and loved.

At one point or another, we also forget - and abandon- the memories that once brought smiles and tears of joy - the glorious moments of victory we shared with our teammates, the sweetest gestures displayed by a lover to another, the celebrations and occasions we had with the people who matters, or even the simple gestures of love and care.

We forget - and dismiss- the feeling of happiness, contentment, love and affection - the feeling of being excited for an upcoming event, the surreal feeling of achieving something, the ecstasy of finding something we once thought impossible, the breathtaking, wonderful feeling of seeing something new.

And like most of us do at times, we forget- and don't care- about the core values we were modeled to believe - the importance of family and friends whatever you achieve in life, the significance of right conduct and proper approach on certain situations, the need to do good and act right.

These has all happened to us at one point in our lives. It is human nature to forget things and to question it for some reasons. We are human and we're not perfect. Forgetting something at some point in understandable.

However, don't let forgetfulness be an excuse to deviate from the right. We forget, but we can remember. We forget, but we can always choose to realize what is right. We forget, but we can always go back to our inner core. We may forget, but we can never deny the existence of right and wrong.

Whenever you forget something you've learned in the past, remember that you're not the first person to do so. Stop and breathe. Take a moment of silence and try to remember what caused the forgetfulness. Be proactive and manage to turn back whenever necessary.

Life is short and lives come and go. Forget the bad but don't neglect the learning. Forget the hurt- the brokenness- but don't dismiss the ones who's trying to make you feel whole again. Forget the unnecessary ones, but care about those who makes you feel better. 

Forget but not the learning. 
Forget but not the experience. 
Forget but the values you grew up with.
