A offhand conversation brought up an ocean of memories today. Of people and places and situations that feel a lifetime ago.
It makes me think a melancholy thought. People start out one thing and as they age can completely morph into someone unrecognizable to those from their past.
Oddly this can even happen quickly. But is this all due to actual change or were we duped or wearing rose colored glasses.
I even find that who I was 14 years ago is merely a memory. She doesn't exist, part of the mosaic.
Honestly, I am slightly mourning the loss of those souls that are now no longer who they once were.
My hope comes that they're filled with new beauty, new light.
Love, loss - growth and change. What a dichotomy when it is so drastic. Or abrupt.
Beloveds...don't let all of you fade away. What a shame to not bring part of the old you along. Like a badge of honor; a rememberance of how far we have all come.
