I am the kind of person (I think) who wants to have constant companions. You know, those people with whom I will share lots and lots of memories with. That's good, right? But the down side of this is that it takes two to tango. I want to have these, but do these people want the same thing? I really, really want to be friends with them for the rest of our lives, but I cannot do that if they do not feel the same way. Friendship is a two-way street.
Because of this, I realized that I should not expect these people to be with me forever. Change is the one thing constant in this world. That is why, my head is telling me that the idea of constant companion is just an illusion, this is impossible because somewhere along the way, you will find ourselves wanting different things, taking different directions. By taking these new directions, you will find yourself in the company of others.
Therefore, being in the moment is one important aspect of my life. Because who knows what will happen next year or next month or tomorrow or a few hours later? But, the now, the stuff going on at this very moment, is actually happening and is very certain; you know this is true and real. And this reality, after some time will become a memory, something you will forever have.
So okay, here is what I know. The passing of time can be equated with change. You will change your endeavors (from school to work), your companions (from high school friends to college friends to co-workers and so on), your wants (from candy canes to fine dresses to a sophisticated laptop and stuff) but what you hold in your head and heart, your memories, those won't change. So find comfort in that consistency. Change is good, but when it all becomes too much to bear, go back, even for a moment because there, you will find familiarity, you'll find things that really made and can still make you happy.
So, ladies and gentlemen, let us treasure these moments. We are making history.
