Let things be

sometimes it is best to let things be. Especially if they are memories that make you wear rose colored glasses when you look back at them.

So, when someone from the past wants to catch up. you are excited.
After all, it is a slice of life that you have left behind, it will remind you of when you were younger, had more hair on the head, lesser hair on the face, when your 'skinny jeans' still fit you, and when you could hear whistles as you walked by a group of boys.
Who wouldn't want to remind self of such a beautiful time?

And, then.

While you get all readied up to meet and greet this person and your past. You realize. It is best to let things be.

You dont want to see your Ex now bald or pot bellied, or having turned out completely different from how the younger you would imagine he would look like 10 years from hence.

Or Worse. You wont want to know that your Ex turned out exactly how you imagined he would be 10 years from thence, and feel bad about yourself with your receding hairline and your love handles which could seat two, and your disillusioned eyes.

you have what you want on an online photo gallery. you have what you want in the now-manipulated-and-distorted-with-nostalgia hallways of your memory palace.
