G.O.A.T.
Sometimes in life we can experience moments that can evoke certain emotions or thoughts that can seem quite peculiar. In the next period of time I am going share a few of them and maybe some of you can relate. This first one I would like to put a title on it and it’s called:
You should never go back
Here are some examples of what I mean:
1. Selling the house and/or leaving the suburb you grew up in and then many years later coming back and either buying the same house back or even driving past it. Have you ever heard people do that, or have you ever done that yourself ? This can be a sad, or even weird thing to do especially if some of your dear relatives have departed.
I remember going past the house where I grew up and the new people that bought it totally messed the place up, they cut down trees, kept the place like a rubbish tip and I thought, what if I bought it back and fixed it up, but then I realised that it wouldn’t be the same, all the old neighbours moved out and even the area had gone to the pack and we really got out just at the right time.
1b Here’s a thought - The place you thought was a great place to holiday in your youth is not so good now decades later, it’s actuality a pretty ordinary place with not much going on and nobody goes their now because there are better places to see and visit.
2. Example number 2 - Buying back your old car or the same make and model years later ! Sometimes we tend to look at the cars we owned years ago in rose coloured glasses especially if they become collectible now and we wished we kept them. However when we think back at the time we owned this car - it was crap then - so it should be even more crap now - but we buy it again so we can experience how crap it was once again - have you ever done that - I did that with an old sports car that I bought again years later. It was unreliable then, so now it’s even more unreliable now that it’s 10 years older, and even slower and dated, the seats soggy and the AC not up to standard,
3. Here’s a tough one - have you ever heard of someone re marry or reunite with someone they divorced years ago thinking that it would be the good old times again - I have seen this happen and in most cases it never was the same as before as people have moved on in their lives.
What do you think? Is it true that we should never go back?
