The Past
Life can be like a burning hallway that you are constantly having to run in front of. There are times that all you want to do is turn around and go back, but everyone tells you not to because the fire will consume you. But still, you want to go back and get those things that made you the happiest and bring them with you. If only you could survive the fire. Time will not slow down for you and life will still go on without you. I guess it's true when people see life as a race. In this case it's against the past. Because looking back at the fire, the past, and getting caught in it will only prevent you from moving forward.
