Old friends and journeys
August 16, 2007 | 5:16 pmI got a message out of the blue from a old friend the other day. Someone I hadn’t heard from in over 9 years. Someone from a stage in my life that I hadn’t realised until that moment was almost lost to me.
Its funny how time passes and life condenses, how the past not so much fades away as becomes transparent. How sometimes the lessons learnt and experiences had can become distant.
It got me thinking about me. It got me thinking about who I am. It got me thinking about all those people who made me who I am today. It got me thinking about whether I had become the person I wanted to be back then. It got me thinking about a lot of things.
Life’s a funny thing, its the greatest journey in the world. Its all about living, about experiencing and discovering. Its a journey that’s full of discoveries about the world around us, about the people we meet and about yourself.
It also got me thinking about whether or not anyone ever really gets to know themselves. I mean we spend a lot of time together, but do we take ourselves for granted? Perhaps we do, perhaps we should pay a bit more respect to ourselves.
Don’t get me wrong, life is good. Its got its up, its got some downs, but that’s what makes it special. That’s what makes us who we are, and we should all be happy about that. If you can look in the mirror each morning and see someone you like and respect then that cant be a bad thing, if your not happy with who you see then one of you has to change, just accept it, just do it.
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this, I don’t know if I’ll actually post this, but you got me thinking, and when I think I like to write.
It was fantastic to hear from you, you reminded me of some great times and some great things and hopefully we’ll meet up again some time. KALO TAXIDI.
