Everybody moves on
Everyone moves on at some point. And everyone leaves something behind while they move on, or in a nicer way, temporarily leaving it aside. Like moving on to your main course while picking up your appetiser once in awhile just cos its still there. I too, am guilty of one who “moves on”.
Moving on to army, being attached, work, overseas/local school, hobby, having a family. Every “new” phase of your life, trails of your past gets further away. You can come back to visit it once in awhile. But it can only get as good as what your memory holds.
While yes you can still make time once in awhile for each other; friends; family.. you have the exception of the less prioritised. And I feel like the less prioritised most of the time. I feel like I’m left behind only to bring lesser and lesser into the ‘next’.
Vicious cycle it may be, but its essential; otherwise you’d get nowhere. No one can hold on to anything for life. You can’t have everything go your way as much as it may be much more appealing.
Be thankful and glad for the now, seize today, seize the times, cos when you pass the now into a past, you might not even remember what it was. And even not get back there.
