It's funny to think about how fast things change.
Despite the time invested in heading down a certain path,
it only takes one person to lead you down a completely
opposite one in a matter of days.

The idea of forever is expansive, to say the least.
To be so sure in what you believe to be your future,
then have it completely shattered is eye-opening.
And while its connotation may seem completely negative,
the situation may be illuminating,
shedding light on something that was once hidden
because of the insistence in this one conviction of forever.

I'm not going to lie:
It does upset me to think that there
are people that were once a part of my life
that no longer are nor will ever be again.
To go from spending almost every day
with a certain group to being nervous
about running into them at a public place
is almost mind-blowing.

How is it that loyalties can bend in an instant?
Perhaps because they were never strong to begin with?
Or perhaps because they were never there at all.

Despite all these thoughts,
I suppose it's good riddance
because now I am in a position
where there is no doubt as to what is true.
