Like any new year, I meant to start this one by updating this site more but alas here we are in April and I’m finally getting around to it. Given enough time and our goals become distant enough for us to forget and move on to another goal, object to pursue, or whatever is easily available to fill the void and make us feel accomplished or at least fulfilled for the time being before repeating the same cycle again.
I turned 40 this past year and never would I have imagined the situations the people around me are going through. I think most people go through life with the intentions of trying to live the “perfect life”; get a career, get married, have kids, grow old together etc. Over time though feelings or dynamics change putting a wedge between people or goals and given enough time they go astray from whatever goal or love they once had.
Few things stay constant in life and those that do are easily taken for granted.
I had been thinking about this post for a while now but finding a picture from 2008 prompted me to finally write. The picture included someone who I always thought would be in my life no matter the time or distance. Of course, our monthly check ins turned into annual and that turned into nonexistent. The distance helped and over time they just became a memory. I reached out to them expecting radio silence but I’m thankful they responded and we’re back in contact. It’s silly how we easily take for granted of things we say we love. Will this continue? Who knows, I do respect the commodity of time a lot more now than I did in 2008 especially as people start to pass on and divorces start popping up with friends around us. I’m just adding the songs below cause; 1.) one resonates my POV 2.) I was told the other was the other’s POV back in the day.
