People Come and Go

Do you believe in the saying that the people around us will eventually go someday? Our family, our friends, and even all of our loved ones will leave us behind in the future. Even if we want those people to stay on our side, time and fate will separate us apart. Maybe that is the reason why some people don't believe in the idea of forever because they know that everything is not permanent, that forever doesn't exist, and is impossible to happen.

Remember the time when that person promised not to leave you but chose to abandon you and be with someone else? Ouch! Pain, right? How about your friends in elementary, high school, and college? Do you still communicate and bond with them? Or all of you turned to strangers again? See now? Nothing is permanent, everything changes. They are on our side today but how about tomorrow? How about next week? Month? Year? And the following years? Are you sure that they will stay? Then, how long?

I still remember when I was just in elementary, a kid to be specific. I am the type of kid who wants to go outside every time just to play with other kids. I used to play Tumbang Preso/ Tumbang Lata, Patintero, Sili-sili, Bente-Bente, Captain Block 1,2, and 3, and many more to mention that completes my childhood experiences, but if you will ask me what do I do now? Well, I am not the same child I used to be before. I changed, I became a 'taong bahay' or a person who doesn't like to go outside anymore just to play. My close friends back then turned out to be strangers today, some are now working, some are pursuing their paths and dreams, while some already have a family.

Just the same with my elementary classmates, we used to be close before but as we grow up everything has changed. If we are seeing each other in different places, we just walked passed each other or perhaps just give a nod and smiled, we will not ask how both of us have been for a long time or take some time to have a little conversation. It's just like the past connection has been long gone as the years pass by. But maybe that is the true essence of life, we will meet a lot of different people in our lives but that doesn't mean they are there to stay. Some are just there to leave a mark on our minds, scars in our hearts, and lessons in our lives.

I have read a great quote saying..."You're not growing if you are not losing friends." This is indeed true, if we lose something then for sure we will learn something. And that is lessons in life that are useful in the future.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

Even if people in our lives will leave us in the future, we should cherish and enjoy the present moments we have with them. Don't dwell in the past, don't worry about the future, just enjoy the present moment 😊
