SURPRISE!

There is something shocking yet familiar about drifting away from people. It's shocking because you have such good memories with these people and then one day everything changes. It's familiar because somewhere deep down inside you knew that at some point, it would have happened eventually. And you know that things are going to be okay, but you still feel sad because you miss those memories, you missed those good times with them.

Life is full of surprises like these. One minute everyone is laughing, and the next, you're alone, wondering what ever happened to everyone and everything that was such a big part of your life. The abruptness of drifting is what catches you by surprise. It's so sudden and so unexpected (sometimes) that you don't know what to do. You are just forced to go with the flow and see where this burst of change is going to take you. You are stuck wondering what happened.

It eventually hits you that it's just life. People drift away. People lose touch for a while or forever because everyone is moving at a different pace and maybe you're on a faster pace or maybe you're on a slower pace. Nonetheless, it's not the same pace as the other person. And you realize that that's okay because you see that nothing is certain in life (nothing ever is). You just have to live it day to day and hold on to those memories and keep living. At the end of the day, life and time waits for no one. 

Maybe in the future, it will come back to the familiar place. Maybe in the same way it ended it will begin again. Maybe those memories and those good times and good laughs can be recreated and added to in the future. Maybe at some point all of you will be on the same track and things could go back to it was; where everything was familiar and you knew what the next day was going to be with this person.

"So I put my faith in something unknown. I'm living on such sweet nothing

But I'm tired of hope with nothing to hold. I'm living on such sweet nothing"
