A friend of mine made a repost on her most trusted friends and mentioned two people she trusts completely and can do anything for. I wasn't amongst those two, and it wasn't a problem. But then it got me thinking about some of the people I used to have in my life, some are my friends, some are juniors and some are colleagues.
I suddenly stopped just to think about the fact that I missed them and also the subtle feeling of loss that they may not need me as they used to, we may never be as close as we used to either and that's how life is. I started feeling kinship all of a sudden with parents who watch their babies grow to toddlers then to big kids, to teenagers and subsequently adults. And of course the children's reliance on their parents reduces as they grow older and it is not a bad thing.
I took a moment to appreciate the time I spent with those in the above category, the fun moments, the not so fun moments and even the small wins and breakthroughs we had. It doesn't have to be vice or quarrel that will pull us apart, an apprentice doesn't stay an apprentice forever, a student will graduate and a child will be an adult. A lot of people have so much hold on people, they don't understand to let go when it comes to that stage, they are not also sensitive to know that when people don't mention us later on as their friends, it doesn't have to mean they don't value you.
The cycle will always, surely continue, all we can do is enjoy the little moments.
Or maybe I am just jealous and a little bit hurt, who knows?
