I was away for a year.
I was very surprised by those whom I considered close. People who I thought would forget me in the first week, remembered me more than I would have ever imagined. While “close friends” (I will put it in huge quotation marks)…
Ah… What a heavy exhalation. All that emptiness that I had felt comes back to me secondarily.
I hoped that the bitterness I left behind would fade away like a forgotten can of Coke.
But nope. It's been burning, even after a whole year. It's scratching the throat. It is carbonated.
How can we be so wrong in our judgment of some people?
Like the clothes we order from the Internet, not to say from AliExpress…
It is presented as top quality yet at such a low price. You order, you can afford it, and it's a great deal too. You wait with excitement for a month, two… sometimes even three.
And it will arrive.
Such is the reality of life.
Someone will come. Finally, you say. He understands me and supports me. It is wonderful!
Let me return to the clothes… just as they lose shape with each wash, shrink, fade… transform into a new piece… so do my friends. In a day, they go from family to strangers. Even more distant than that.
If they no longer need you, poof! They fade.
Nothing matters anymore. Nothing is memorized anymore. He has nothing to take from you anymore.
You are empty and unnecessary.
Only distance will show you what “for better or for worse” means, forget about anything and everything else.
The further, the better, In a bit of time, everything will become clear!
And then you will understand the saying “out of sight, but not from the heart”.
