Do you find yourself experiencing life and good moments as temporary and momentary? Where are you spending time with friends or people and knowing that you may not experience this again? Or you meet people who have good spirits but you know you’re not going to see them again? That’s life and what it’s become at this point.
I’ve learned that certain moments with friends I’ll never get back or get to experience again. I’ll give you some insight on this and a little of my life. When I moved into the current place I live at now, I met a good amount of people who became friends and we’d hangout and do things. We’d have game nights and have food and tons of fun.
As time moved on, things changed and shifted. Once two of my friends moved out of the state (they’re a couple), that’s when a lot changed. Not too long after, another friend moved and went back to where she was living as she married her husband and it was time for them to start their lives together. Another set of friends moved out and after that, the rest of us barely see each other unless it’s an event in our building.
Those temporary and momentary events where we had fun, you don’t think they’re going to end. You don’t realize that things change, life changes and people move on with their lives. You might keep in touch with them, you may not but all you’ll have are pictures and memories in your mind of what was.
You’ll start to notice it a lot in your life too. Your close, inner circle of people will always be around and you’ll continually have great moments in time with them. There’s the saying, “Some people come into your life for a purpose and reason, sometimes for a lifetime, sometimes for a season. You learn about others, their life stories and then you move forward.
It’s ironic that this is more of an occurrence when it comes to dating and relationships. When you think there’s something there and next thing you know, you don’t hear from them anymore or you reach out and you get nothing. As they say, it’s life and how it goes, right?
Even vacations, trips they’re temporary and momentary, you have fun and then it’s back to the life of monotony. We work 48-50 weeks a year for companies who only care that you make them money, nothing more, nothing life.
Granted there are some companies who have unlimited PTO but is that really the case? I couldn’t tell you, I’ve never worked for a company that has that, granted I’ve seen it in job descriptions as part of their benefits. I’ve learned that a lot of what we experience as far as good moments aren’t consistent and don’t last forever.
Life shouldn’t be just going through the motions. They should be joyful, with its set of challenges that we may face or go through. How do we get to a place where we are consistently happy and doing what we are passionate for and what brings us the energy we need?
I surely don’t have the answers but there is hope that we get to a place where we can enjoy the life we want and deserve. That’s my blog for today, thanks for reading, be good and go accomplish your goals!
