Everybody leaves. Having experienced degrees of loss at a young age, I embraced that damaging thought. As I grew into an adult, the thought was only verified by attempts at relationships that came to “incomplete” conclusions.
Since then, hope and maturity has put me in a different mindset. Perhaps, everyone doesn’t leave. Perhaps they simply have a “best if used by” date on them. hmmm…

Or perhaps some just need down time to recharge. 🙂

Well said JT
James Tomasino says:
Maybe we’re all just visitors at the same party. It’s not that we’re leaving, we’re just trying to spend time at as many parties as we can before we have to go home.
That’s a pretty metaphor, I think. Sometimes I say them before I think about them too much, and then I’m surprised when it makes me smile.

I like that perspective, James. I also like the phrase, “pretty metaphor.”
