the world does not stop

if you've watched 'strangers again' by wongfu productions on youtube, you can recall these lines they had:

our lives will continue on in different directions

becoming strangers again

and everything we shared will just become fragmented memories

from so long ago we'll question if it even really happened

setting aside the dating plot attached to it, you will most probably find yourself having been/being in a similar situation. be it the group of friends you sat with at recess throughout highschool, the rendezvous you had in college, or those persons you used to call your best buddies. would you have expected to no longer hear from the people who meant so much to you at some point of your life? 

the sense of contentment you had just wasting time with people you adored. those stupid things you did with people you liked. that feeling of safety-ness being in the company of people you trusted. who also happened to be the poor souls who had to sit through you gushing about the person everyone seemed to know you can't have. the situations in which you wished real hard time had stopped. how ever did they end up being a mere 'once upon a time ago'?

you could've put in more effort. how bout making the first moves. reciprocate and encourage others' initiations. maybe stop and actually listen. only after you've done what you could, can you be sure the future you will be less likely to regret and accept that people drift away. probably then, a post like this won't exist.
