I'll always look back at the past.  Even now, that time when I was torn between my "quiet, soft self" and the one who wanted to take risks, explore, and go on adventures, has become a treasure--something which is precious, even if only for the fact that it is a part of me, one that I will never be able to experience in the same way again.
