The Last Sunshine in the Grey

Essay by Reyca Mae D Eduarte First Place, Literary Contest 2023 Essay Category

People change. In life, a single decision can change your whole personality. A single event can change your whole point of view. A person’s life undergoes changes the same way their fashion and style change. Nothing stays the same forever.

As people get older, they tend to lose interest in the things they once loved, but that’s alright, because change is normal. As a kid, we know that the time will come when we grow out of things. Change is not something to be sorry for because it is part of life.

From the moment a baby’s cry is heard, warmth fills its life, like the beaming sun of summer. The happy tears of the people are heard, and soon, that baby will grow old. Children are given love and attention as they deserve. They become a ray of sunshine to the people around them. Spreading warmth and happiness to everyone. Playing around and going with the flow without worrying about other things. That’s where all the people started. A ray of sunshine to those around.

People continue in life with them going down different paths and making choices. As they say, every decision comes with a price. Either a heavy or a light one. With every decision, a change will be made. A change in life that cannot be undone. As people get older, more decisions are made, and more changes happen

People make decisions that are glued to obligations. Obligations that can change a person from warm to cold, and from bright to dull. Life is not always bright with colors. There is a time when one will lose interest in the things they were once into. They become busy with school or work. In this generation, people are too busy in order to achieve something, and as we become more successful, the more we forget to have fun. The older the people get, the more they know, and the more they know, the faster they change.
