This story is based on a song I heard, namely Mike Shinoda-Already Over. I made this story with my interpretation and showed how to do erase a bad past. It's just fiction, hope you enjoy it with my random short story.

Sometimes I wouldn’t go back in the past. The worst past times is like the building was damaged. But, why so many people stay in between the past and the future? Why people do not erase their suffering from the bad past? What was their thinking about? Does thinking of the past bring it back?

“It wasting time to think of the bad past. I think, can you give some time to make it something?” said my friend, a journalist who covers Music Event, Dira.

“No, I don’t have time to think of shit the bad past times,” I mumbled, bit rough on her. She laughs.

“No, no. I’m not being sarcastic. I mean, why do people choose and stay in the past? Like, what? Wasting a full time to stay there?”

“That’s a people's choice. Although they choices are confusing you,” I said while writing some news. At the cafe, I usually write in here after covering the news. Even I take the news of Lifestyle. This year, there are so many music events I want to come. As a Lifestyle Journalist, reporting while see the concert it was fun. At least, working while on holiday at the concert is better for my won. In this year, every guest star I want to see them. Like Morfem, Burgerkill, Superman Is Dead, or Pop Punk bands.

Hearing Rock or Pop Punk music is my medicine when I was working as a journalist. Of course, those two genres became my playlist on Apps Music. No time to being sad. A loud music makes me pump.

“Rather than making you sad, it’s better to get some energic by concert music in this year,” said Dira, being sarcastic toward me.

“Dira, It’s already over. I have no time to think about it. What’s a bad past? I’m focused on working right? It started by you to made this discussion about ‘Why People Stay From The Past and The Future’,” I said firmly while sip my coffee.

That’s true. When I got some bad in the past. I don’t have time to stay there for a long time. There are so many good things that I want to get more and more. It’s over. Like the song by Mike Shinoda, with the title Already Over.

But it’s already over

And I don’t even know

Looking for a window

That I already closed

No matter how much I want it

How bad I’ve tried

Nothing’s there on the other side

It’s already over

-Mike Shinoda
