Out With the Old in With the New

Matthew S.

  • I wrote this piece because I was recently reminded that pondering about the past won’t change the present. Moving is a very difficult process for many different people including me. Moving to a different state as a child had a very large impact on me. I took for granted just how amazing the people and environment I was surrounded with. If I could live it all again I would but there’s no point imagining what life would’ve been like if I had stayed because it really doesn’t change anything. Reaching for dreams and goals, I’ve been taught to focus on the present. This is why I wrote, “Out With the Old in With the New.”

  • I believe that the past is very impactful on who people continue to be as a person. I have always believed that I should be emotionless, especially about things that have already happened, but creativity has helped me express these emotions.
