I remember how I'd trust easily back then, how I would roll with people freely, laugh out loud, and all of that. Like, I'm just free and friendly with everyone; I guess I never paused to think about what could go wrong or about the fact that I cannot know the other person's mind towards me. You know, people can be anything these days. And they can even be acting all good just to get what they want. Not as if everyone is like that, though, but the world we live in today requires that we be careful.
Well, life and experiences, they say, are the best teachers, and they have both come together to teach me a lot; now I take my time to even trust you. There are things I wouldn't even think twice about before doing back then; now I would rethink it thrice before even considering giving it a trial. Even when someone comes to me with a clear mind, it's not as if I'm God, so I will still take my time to know what your real intention actually is.
And I didn't just become like this overnight; life and experiences, they say, are the best teachers. After having to go through heartbreaks, disappointment, betrayals, loss, and all of that, I can now see and understand more clearly. And I'm sure you can very well relate to me too, especially if you've had to experience any of that too.
I won't deny that I miss the old me. I just wish we could all be free with each other and have clear minds and good intentions towards one another. Likewise, I want to be able to laugh freely, I want to do things without being scared of betrayal, I want to be able to trust you without looking foolish, and I want to be kind without being afraid of anyone taking it for granted or taking advantage of it.
