In my life, there are three things that stand out, each holding a certain sadness that lingers in the air. First, there is the endless lilac garden, its fragrant blossoms stretching as far as the eye can see. It’s a beautiful sight, but the flowers seem to wither too soon, reminding me of how fleeting beauty and life can be. Next, there are the abandoned houses, once filled with love and laughter, now standing empty and silent. Their walls echo with the ghosts of past happiness, but time has taken its toll, leaving only the hollow remnants of what once was. Finally, there are the gardens with crumbling walls, their fences broken and forgotten. What was once a place of growth and life is now slowly being overtaken by neglect, the walls falling apart just as the hopes and dreams they once held have faded away. These things in my life remind me of how everything can decay, how beauty can be lost, and how time, no matter how cherished, ultimately takes everything from us.
