(no subject)
I believe that you cannot deny the existance of someone in your life. Regardless of the terms that you part on or the circumstances to which you now subscribe, you cannot pretend that they were never there or that the years of memories are simply dreams or in fact, nothing at all.
It is natural for people to grow up and to grow apart, and for things to end. But to deny that any of it ever really happened? This is the same as erasing a complete chapter of your life, because your friends and the people that you meet make you who you are; they have a profound effect on who you become. You would be a completely different individual, had it not been for these meetings, interactions, and friendships. You wouldn't be you.
Few things are actually built to last; statues crumble, dresses disintegrate, half of marriages fail. Nothing has to be forever. But the past cannot be denied, nor can history be forgotten, for this is how we learn, and this is how we grow.
