I think we should slowly learn how to not get attached with people deeply. after all, nothing stays permanent, does it? your special someone right now might be someone else’s special person tomorrow. your friend right now might next day be a foe. i don’t mean that we have to avoid connections or avoid love; i mean we need to love without depending on it for our happiness. loving without clinging, appreciating without possessing. we can love people fully but we should not allow their absence to define our happiness. we need to understand that people come and go, and life is a series of hello and goodbye. we need to learn how to love deeply without losing ourselves in the process, so that when things change, even when people leave, as they always do, we’ll still be okay. because at the end of the day, the only person we can truly rely on is ourselves.
