100 Plus: Reason, Season, Lifetime
When once we sat in an impossibly tangled web of connections, holding us all together in its embrace, now axes have been taken to the strands of that web. Some are still as strong as ever, but some lie in shreds, the split ends reaching towards the floor with nothing else for them to hang onto.
I wish I could fix it all. Wish I could sew the severed strands together again. Wish I could bring us all back to that time before those beautiful connections were hacked away by failed romances and friendships. Wish that I could take everyone by the hand and set things right back to the way they once were.
I can touch that time in my photographs, can still crave it when I see our smiling faces. But I can never go back, can I?
I can only move forward. The forward motion will stretch and threaten those connections that still embrace me but I must accept the fact that some are meant to break. Those that remain intact are the lifelines I was meant to count on.

Returned to my college to visit the friends still in class there. It was really great to see them all.
And yet... I could feel the change. And I hated it. But I am doing my best to reconcile with it, because changes comes with life, whether we like it or not.
