Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
People come and go.
Those best friends you came to love are, of course, still your best friends -- but the relationships built never seem to stay completely as they were at their peaks. Distance takes hold, new friends invade, and unwillingly you detach rather effortlessly -- sometimes.
So how do we deal with it all? How should we treat the people that we meet? Should we assume they will all continue at a steady, increasing, path with no recession and therefore put ourselves wholly into them? Or should we do the opposite and give them the bare minimum of our attention? Maybe meet somewhere in the middle?
What happens when the world stops and your entire being suddenly places itself back into the years you labeled as the past? All that you've learned and who you currently are looks itself in the mirror and can't help but see YOU as you were x many years ago. Suddenly all those friendships come surging back and you miss them; you genuinely miss them. That lasts for a few seconds, a few minutes at most.
Then we're whipped back into place, back to where time clicks forward. Back to reality.
Suggestions?

i feel the exact same way here at ut. it's weird. you seriously put my thoughts into writing.
change is forever, but why can't these relationships be forever as well. we say they are, but in reality, are they built that way?
