A friend reached out to me last night. He said he wished time could stop; he's afraid of the loss that comes with growth and change. He sent me this:
"I always knew looking back on my tears would bring me laughter, buit I never knew looking back on my laughter would make me cry." (Cat Stevens)
Part of being emotionally overcharged like I am is my tendency to feel so many things at once. It's not uncommon for me to be laughing and having a great time, while hurting on the inside because I know that the good time will inevitably end.
Everything ends. Even the best of friends can eventually drift apart. Sometimes they reconnect but sometimes they don't.
Robert Frost said "So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay." And it's true. But there's another sunrise waiting. Our paths may carry us away from what we know and love, but each step carries us toward new and amazing opportunities to laugh, live, and love.
