Yesterday...

Posted in Thursday, May 20, 2010
"Yesterday...all my troubles seemed so far away...now it looks as though they're here to stay..."
-The Beatles


Oh how I believe in yesterday...The sun was so young to me. Everything was so simple, not a care in the world. I knew of no problems. The world was mine. No fighting, no love, no hate. Childhood dreams are a utopia. The world was what we made it. Our minds were strong. Our minds were uneducated, and it's true that ignorance is bliss. But people inevitably grow up and become educated. Very few keep these childhood dreams. I have not given up mine. The innocence of the world to me, how I wished that it would be like that forever. Years later, I've heard so many horrible things about this world. Instead of being like others' and accepting the world and simply surviving, I want to do something. I have not forgotten the feeling of innocence and dream. But like us all, I have forgotten true happiness. Everyone in this world will know true happiness when they make peace, and live the dream they dreamt. 
The world is yours, dream on.


Yesterday - The Beatles


Dream a dream for me.
