OLDIE BUT GOODIE
I'm 25. Been homeless, hospitalized many times, and pretty much hit rock bottom mentally. I feel like I'm both old and young at the same time. So many growths have come for me since I moved to Philadelphia. I've made some close friends and lost friends I never thought I would lose. I've met the guy who I know I want my life journey to be entwined with.
When I stay up late some nights, the memories of what was left behind hurts. The texts that were never returned. Promises never fulfilled. The memories that I try to hold on to dearly are fading quicker than I want them to. It takes a lot not to cry.
But, as the title says, I'm realizing the we were to spend together has expired. We have done everything we were supposed to have done. Just being friends at the time we were is all that was allowed.
But fear not. Friendships, like loves, leave an imprint on the soul. Memories of the glory days are left to put a smile when you are feeling down. A joke never dies as with a song never loses it meaning. Nothing can ever change the past but the past can influence the future.
The future is bright for new hope as well as the joys that are coming forward at speeds that may seem too fast. We will slip, stumble, and if we're lucky, we won't fall too hard. We just hope there's someone there to help pick us up, dust us off, and help us carry on.
I hope that you are happy now, in the new life you have created. Maybe we will talk again. If not, I wish you the best and hope that the memories stay with you as they will with me.
