Thirty Four Weeks. Four Days. 38 Days to go…
So many times people come into our lives and change us in some way and then leave.
I often wonder about friends past, wonder about where they are or what they are doing or sometimes even what our lives would be like if they were still apart of them.
Think about it… Primary school – who was your best friend? High School – someone different again? What about college? Then your first job…. All those people coming and going in and out of our lives, what happened to them?
People change, and i think that is the important thing to remember, that each year of our lives we are experiencing something different which means that the people we need close to us needs to change. But what is it about our lives that makes that happen? Why is it that we have people in our lives for just a ‘section’ and then they leave again?
And i guess in saying that everyone is different, some people have friends that they have known for most of their lives… But others like me, dont – we have people that we have known for just those ‘sections’.
I dont feel like i am missing out, the friends i have, especially at the moment are so dear to me it brings tears to my eyes when i think about it… But sometimes i worry that they wont be there, simply because it seems that for every changing season of my life, i loose someone – and as it stands right now, the friends i have – i really dont want to loose.
Then again, maybe as we get older and our friends enter the same stages of life as us we are able to hold on for longer simply for the reason that we are experiencing the same things at the same time. And that statement in itself makes me feel more confident as i know that my closest friends – the ones i love so much – are going through the same stage of life as me.
But it still doesnt change the fact that somedays i sit here and wonder about the people who were once part of my life…
Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.
