...Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of Our Lives.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm like that sometimes.
I'm a firm believer in the whole theory that things happen for a reason. Looking back on my life, there was one girl that I truly cared for and loved. She was amazing, everything that I could hope for in a woman. She had this cute Russian accent that drove me crazy, and a body that.. nevermind.
I only knew her for a short time, ten months, at best. We never dated, we never did anything like that, but I loved her and she loved me - it was just something that we wern't about to do anything about.
I remember the night before she moved away.. It was a cold clear night, a thousand stars overhead.. It was almost ironic, in a way, that such a perfect night would be the end to something that could have been. We just simply sat by one anther on a cold slab of concrete, not saying a word. I'll never forget that night..
So several years pass and one day a friend says that he ran into her mother. Well, to make a long story short(er), she moved back to Russia and has devoted her life to mission work. Her mother said that she's the happiest that she's ever been.
During the time I was with her, I was going through something that I didn't want anyone to be part of. It took me a long time to get over those things, but they have made me a better person.
Looking back though, if we would have acted on our feelings, things would be a lot different. I would have never had the chance to get healthy, and she would have never had the chance to do what she really loved in life.
The point is, life has a way of working itself out. We may be hurt by someone now, we may want them back in our lives with all our heart, but in the end, is that really what's best for us? Can we really escape the past wrongs that they've done to us? Will there ever be that "new love" feeling of excitement and passion again?
There's no answer to that. All we can do is simply live our lives the best we can, and try to make the most of what we have. If we spend our days drowned in sorrow over some lost love, we'll never realize how great life can really be.
Just my thoughts on things.. take it or leave it.
