You lied. You told me that I was capable of anything, that nothing could stand in my way if I really committed my time and energy. And with my heart and mind, I believed you. Today that changed. I don't trust you anymore. The web of lies you created has been destroyed, because the truth shines as bright as ever. You lied, and for the first time in my life, you let me down...
But I was wrong too, because I realised people do indeed change. Because change is actually the only constant in our entire existence - we morph, we merge, we grow, we die. It's the way people try not to change that's unnatural. The way we clinge to what things were instead of letting them be what they are. The way we clinge to old memories instead of forming new ones. The way we insist on believing. Change is constant, how we experience it, well that's up to us. It can feel like death or it can feel like a second chance at life. If we open our fingers, loosen our grips, and go with it, it can feel like at any moment we can be born all over again...
"What" and "if" are two words as non threatening as words can be. But put them together side by side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? We all dream of a love to leave loved ones for, a love to cross oceans for, but I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it, then I'd had the courage to seize it, and if any of you didn't, I hope one day you will...
