Memories

Memories! Sometimes little things like a fragrance, a place, a song or even just a word will bring back the memories.

Have you ever had something very little yet very special that brought you back to the good old days because I have.

I spent a couple of weeks looking for an outfit that would be suitable for me to wear on my special day. I finally managed to get a beautiful navy blue dress with amazing works of beads and stones which also come with a trail. The day arrived, I got dressed up and had the best makeup artist to doll me up. I loved everything about myself and I went to the big stage confidently. It was “Superstar 2016” which is a nationwide singing competition. The moment I stood on the stage, i could remember the days when i prayed to be on this stage and after so many years of practicing, I was finally there. A childhood dream literally came true. I felt like I was on top of the world yet I felt a little nervous seeing the amount of people who were watching me. The stadium was fully packed. I Immediately started to look for my family members thinking that I would feel better if I see them but I couldn’t find any of them. The music started to play and I started performing. I could sense the strength and confidence in my voice and people started cheering. That moment was surreal. To be on that stage with confidence and to witness the cheering of the crowd. I didn’t need my family to feel better but I needed the cheer from the crowd. That’s when I realise the power of people support. I still find it the best memory I have and I would always treasure it. Now after seven years, I still have my navy blue dress hanging in my closet and every time i see it and touch it. It just brings back the beautiful memories and I get to relive the moment one more time.
