Isn’t it amazing how nothing in life is constant? Everything changes, grows, shrinks, evolves. The relationships between human beings are probably the most interesting ones to observe – those if anything constantly change. Is it from relationships around us that we learn the most? Do we change because of change or is it the way in which we deal with change that changes us?
It doesn’t seem to matter how old or mature we are, heartache and sadness is still heartache and sadness. When we find ourselves loosing a lover or a friend, when another story of two becoming one intentionally or unintentionally goes to waste as it reaches its last chapter, it doesn’t seem to matter in what way it gets lost, it hurts all the same and the bitter aftertaste cannot be washed away even with the strongest coffee.
One of the things life can seem to teach us is that there are no escape plans to get away from fate – just vague instruction manuals suggesting that the only way of surviving unpredictability is being prepared for it. And when a new day arises, the sun is still the sun. How would we ever be able to appreciate it if we never feel heartache or sadness?
