Time and change
Amazed at the speed of the time, the changes with time and the catching up in age.
Amazed at how I could relate to things and people whom I have met 8, 11 or 13 years ago. To have known people for almost half my lifetime, to have memories that date 8 years back - all these sound a little overwhelming for merely having breathed on this earth for 24 years.
Many precious memories and sentiments over the past 24 years but still, I have only seen and experienced little of what this world and this life have to offer. There seems to be so much more that can and needs to be done during this lifetime, in this present world. Another half of a lifetime, another 24 more years, perhaps more, perhaps less... all these suddenly sound a little too much to be thought about, to grasp and to feel.
Perhaps there is a capacity to how much we can hold; memories, feelings, yearnings and grievances. It is probably easier to empty what's in the past to allow room for new memories and feelings. Somehow, the inertia of nostalgia holds them back and refuses to let go. How long more can I long for the same things that I have been yearning for? How long more will I be willing to let loose and allow some things to be erased from the past?
Some changes come naturally with time while some only breed under the right conditions... conditions where it allows room for changes.
Am I ready for a change?
