Looking back
We are always so concerned with the present and future,
Sometimes it pays to step back and look at how we got here,
This year I started getting serious about my career and self care,
One year ago I was lost in life and experiencing a pandemic,
Two years ago I was Enjoying a carefree life with someone I loved,
Three years ago I was forming new connections and experiencing life,
Four years ago I met my first love,
Five years ago pressure was being put on me to start thinking ahead,
We are always caught up in the chaos that is modern day,
So we hardly have the time to look back on the people we were,
The past may not always be the greatest,
But there is a strange sense of calm in remembering it

Self-reflection is crucial to our growth as human beings, and figuring out how we got to be where we are is so very informative of who we are today. It’s amazing to have that reminder that the past is not who we are, but something that helped make us who we are. Thank you so much for this poem.
