Yesterday, while doing the packing, I thought of taking along few greeting cards from my close ones. So, I took out the whole heap I have collected over years. While searching for the ones I wanted, I also came across I ones I should have avoided. Ones from my ex best friends. I know I should have avoided reading them again, but I couldn't stop myself from going through them. In all of them, it was the same thing- 'friends forever and always.' How things change!! Few months ago, the people who considered that I am the one who understands them the most and I am the one with whom they can share every bit of their life, are not even around anymore. Maybe they would think of me sometimes (like I do), but it hardly matters now. We have come too far to even get close to the way we were. As they say,"The glass once broken can never be joined again." All of this has taught me one thing for sure: "Forever and always lasts only till we are together." We can never be sure of anything or anybody. People change. Their priorities change. The only constant is change, and if you don't change along- you are left behind, you are destroyed.
P.S. One day to go :(
Done with packing (almost.) I am already feeling nostalgic.
Wise words :) I keep all that stuff too. Even if I'm not in that place with someone anymore, I still like reading of a time when things were better.
ReplyDeleteI've lost a few friends over the years. I think about them sometimes and it hurts so much.
