9 May 2009 :: People
Growing up in the military, I got fairly used to making friends and knowing that at some point, I'd likely never see them again. It makes it easy for me to move on from people, because I think friendship is something one has with an individual they have something in common with, or with someone who shares the same sphere as them. Things change, people move and they are gone. I'm ok with that, and I accept that is nearly everyone I know.
The ones that make me wish I was still around them surprise me. For instance, and perhaps this is ridiculous, but I put my dog down two years ago, and I still have this huge void in my life that will never be replaced and it is a heartbreak that shows no sign of ever going away. I think I have two people in my life like that and I'm thankful I don't have more. |
