The Past*

When I look at old pictures, I get the feeling of going through someone else's past. A past that when it existed, it was formed with several components, and that today only remain a few. The past has an influence on the people of the present. We are who we are now, but the present "you", is still connected and influenced with the past "you". Because the past makes its contribution to form us, I can't resist to wonder who were you in the past?; were you happy and stable?; did you feel like your life was going somewhere?. When living in the past-present, we don't realize that what we have will follow its natural course, and since it belongs to us, we don't think that it will be difficult to keep it. Now, you have arrived to that time you didn't think of. Even though some people say you're strange and that that's the way you are, I think you have your reasons hidden well that makes you the person that people believes you really are. I wonder if they ever wondered like me, why are you like that?. Maybe they did in the beginning, and maybe you haven't found someone to trust and that will understand you. I'm a person that likes to know the reason for everything. It may seem that I'm, being nosy, but I think that when knowing the reason, I'm able to understand.
We are driven by reasons and some of us act according to those reasons. It seems that you try to open up to the people you're getting to know and that for some reason you end up liking them. That is how you get to see if you will trust them even more. Everything can't be said on one night, but it's only you who can allow others to get to know you better. You seem like a mystery to be discovered, or maybe you're as simple as everyone says, but again, that is their perception of you. Maybe I'm mistaken, but this is my initial thought. If I'm proven wrong in the future, that will be that. Today I was inspired by your pictorial past, and it allowed me to be in peace. I got to know the past "you", and you are not so different from today.
