There's always this sort of brightness in my eyes. I don't need to be told because I can see it, sense it, and almost taste it, and it all happens when I watch TV shows on supernatural beings. They are just truly intriguing!
I have always been a huge fan of mystical characters/beings in movies, the ones I get to imagine and play around with in my mind and... well, I have heard about a few in our world, though I have not yet gotten to meet the one that deems me worthy to converse with.
Now, having to meet such beings... no, just the thought of us meeting is... I am sure so… so, no, very much loss of the proper word/expression to use, but it'd be delightful.
According to Ladies of Hive prompt of the week by @irenenavarroart with the question;
A mystical and powerful being offers you the chance to reincarnate, but you must choose between two options: the first is to keep the memories of your past life but without meeting the same people again. The second option is to forget everything but find the same people around you reincarnated just like you. Which would you choose and why?
I must confess that the two options are very tempting. Having the memories of the past and meeting with different people is really interesting because I'd get to live life differently. Being with the knowledge of the past is like having some sort of life map. I won't take the same step I took in my past life because I know exactly how it'll turn out to be or at least with the knowledge of how things might pan out for me.
I'll always tread carefully in making friends, the sort of business to venture into, places to invest in, and who to make my allies. Although it'd be fun because I have knowledge of how the world works, especially at a younger age. However, taking a closer look at things... it would also bring pain. Having memories of my past life means I'll remember every pain I felt, the heavy guilt I carry… I'll have the same fear that takes my breath away and just so much negativity which might affect my relationship with the new people I get to start life with despite being reincarnated and that's why going with this option is a terrible deal for me to take.
Though they are people I'd love to remember even after I am reincarnated, people that surrounded me with so much love, attention and trust but, I believe I shouldn't bring the baggage of my past life to my new life even though I'd still get to meet with the same people in my past life who are also reincarnated but at least, we won't know each other. So, it is just like living a new life entirel, which is a good deal.
Surely, I might make the same mistakes, feel the same hurt, get the same sort of happiness and so much more but the beautiful part of them all is that, I won't remember having gone through them before and that… that is an incredible deal for me to take.
Therefore, instead of holding onto a past that involves people I have never met before, I'd rather be with no past memories. That way, I'd be able to live life again and maybe... just maybe this time around, I am going to truly love, express my feelings more, travel a lot more, and live a life worthy of being reincarnated.
Still yours truly,
Balikis.
Thanks for reading.
