Few days back I too want to go back to my childhood ,suddenly one thing striked my mind ,that why we always wanted to go back to our childhood and didn’t want to be in our present.
Actually , It all started with my dad’s phone .I had to read something on google and I don’t have my phone so I picked up his phone and instead of opening google i opened his gallery may be that’s because of my habit, like when i pick my phone instead of opening google I mostly open whats-app , Facebook , gallery and so on . So, I did the same in his phone .In his phone I saw many old photos , many random clicks (not intentionally taken :)) and so on , and it suddenly happen, that i start thinking many things like — wish i could go back to my childhood, wish i hadn’t talked to my sister like this , wish i had taken that decision and so on.
Acoording to me it happens because of the follwing reasons : -
1) Have you ever realised whenever we see old memories we always wonder off , like — wish i had done this , hadn’t done this and so on , you know the main reason of this is we never live in present moment beacuse if we are in the present moment than we live the moment to fullest and later no wishing for that , yeah ofcourse we can wish things like — wish i again get that chance but not — wish i would done this , that etc.
2) whenever we are dependent on anyone
Whenever we are dependent on anyone we didn’t make any effort to enjoy , to do anything we just start giving excuse for everthing like i didn’t able to do this because of him , or because he did this and so on . We need to understand whatever happens to us , we are sole responsible for that . so, nerver try to give your responsibility to anyone , take your own responsibility because you are the one who is going to be blamed in the end.
3)Beacuse we enjoy being careless
Have you ever realised child are the one who didn’t care for anyone , they just do whatever they want to do , they didn’t care about the results , consequesces or anything they just do it without thinking , and as we grow , we actually think that we are growing as a person , we should make a proper plan than only do it and so on .
Actually it is good to plan out, but we actually don’t know when we have to stop thinking and start doing , we make the things more complicated by thinking alot that’s why we like our childhood beacuse no one like tension and everyone want to get rid of it but we don’t realise when it has became our habit and even if we think that I am not going to take tension nowonwards we are doing it uncounsiously but we can reduce it slowly slowly ;)
4)We miss someone
Sometimes we want to go back to our childhood beacuse we miss someone a lot , we want to spend more time with our loved ones . We need to understand that we cannot change past but yes we can spend time with whom we are right now by being in the present moment.
If , we start living in the present moment than there will come a time when we will be not wishing about anything , we will be just remebering our past and similing without any if’s. ;)
