Another Late Night Thought
This thought is a bit scary. I've had it before but this time I'm going to write it down. I was thinking about the people I've met in my life. No, to be more specific, the people that I believe to be close to me. People who have made an impact on my life. As days, months, years go by, we all meet new people. That's great! I love meeting new people. Then sometimes (like tonight) I think about the people I've met in the past, some are what I consider my friends now. Like me, they are meeting new people.
I know the following sentences is going to make me seem self-centered, but please hear me out. As the people I care about move on with their lives, they're going to meet new people too.
The scary thought is: what if one day they just put you in the back burner and BAM! You're then merely acquaintances It happens. How do I know? I know because once upon a time I thought I had friends that will be with me for the rest of my life. Now they're just people living separate lives. We have what I dread-- small talk.
I'm not only talking about your peers. I'm talking about teachers, cousins, coaches, etc. People move on.
People move on and they have to make room for new things that come their way.
Do you get why that's scary?
Maybe it's just me. I don't know. Just another random late night thought.
