This is a reflection on a conversation I had with one of my favourite friends, about how people we know, we love, we treasure, who are moving on in life.
What makes us move on? It is our age, our phase in life, our circumstances, realisations or expectations? I’ve never been one to like change and moving on but I’ve realised that this is required or rather like my friend puts it ‘it is a fact of life.’
Nonetheless, I miss those moments; childhood madness, temper tantrums, teenage angsts, cuddles, heartaches, laughter, dancing like no one cares, tears and friends. I used that thee would slip away as time went by, but those that are etched in the heart, I realise stay. At times in the past, I would give anything to have them back, but on introspection I wouldn’t as I’m moving on myself and I have something brighter to look forward too. Unknown but adventurous, scary but hopeful.
To sum it all up….life does go on so when life throws you lemons, order the tequila and salt!
Well I guess bring on the tequila then and lets be drunk on life and its changes. Cheers to the fears of tomorrow let them exist there itself salute to the adventures of today. Slanj to the glorious past shelved in ornate boxes to be sipped like wine but for pure indulgence.
