There's Nothing Good That Lasts Forever

Was hit by another wave of nostalgia as I was looking through some old photos. It made me a little sad, seeing those faces that I don't or hardly see anymore. It reminded me of all the friends that have come and gone, and how it's hard to imagine that they were ever a part of my life. In the time that you are close friends with someone, you feel as though it's always going to be that way, and it's simply unimaginable to conceive of anything otherwise.

Yet, here I am, having to stop to ponder and dust off the memories.

The thing that is most disheartening is the unlikelihood of recreating those lost moments you miss so much. Back then, you were at a different stage of your life, and possibly very different people. Even if you were to meet them again, things just wouldn't be the same. Revisiting the memories just makes me feel this slight ache in the heart; from the loss, and from the longing to experience all that once again.

Obviously I know there is no point to this reminiscing. But we do useless things half of the time anyway - just because we are human.
