Time is a curious thing. It goes on, no matter what happens.
Every second of every day passes, the hands of the clock circling around continuously. It doesn't matter what fills up that time, whether it's happy or sad. Even in the moments where it feels like our world is crashing down around us, time marches on, becoming the pulse of our lives. Seconds pass, minutes pass, days pass, years pass. We learn to move on, to smile again.
That doesn't mean that our lives will be filled with constant happiness though. There are sure to be tears and moments where crying on the bathroom floor is the only thing that we can do. Frustration, anger, depression will all pass through us. We lose things, people that are important to us. Over time, we get so accustomed to those who surround us and what makes us love them that, when they graduate to bigger and better things, we can't let go of them. We hug them, never wanting to let go. We are scared that we will ultimately lose ourselves if we lose them. We feel as if, when we stand in front of a mirror, our reflection will no longer be there. We are scared that we will lose sight of who we are over time.
Tears form in our eyes when we think of seniors who have graduated and moved on or loved ones who have passed away, leaving us with only memories to keep them alive in our hearts. The truth is that we never lose them, though. They are always in our thoughts. We will always have our memories of them, and chances are, if they were meant to be in our lives, they will reappear over time.
We can't dwell on the past, because all it is truly is time that we no longer have. We have to keep moving forward, to keep our eyes on the horizon. We have to look forward to the bigger and better things awaiting us. Some things are meant to happen, some things meant to be lost. We have to learn to accept the losses in our lives, to see endings as brand new beginnings.
The sun will continue to shine. Our reflection will still be there whenever we walk past a mirror. We never will let go of the pain that we experience, the people that we lose. We shouldn't have to let go of the people that we love, the people that mean the world to us. But when they take the next step in their lives, no matter where it shall be, we have to let them keep on walking. We have to let them move on. We will experience the love, the hate, the happiness, the anger, the envy, the fear, the success, all of it. But we will experience it, we will smile, we will laugh, we will cry, all over time.
