Forever, there is a loaded word if ever I heard one. How do we time “forever”? What does it mean? It’s absurd to expect anyone would comply
with such a word.
“I’ll love you forever.
I will be with you forever. I
will eat healthy forever. I will work
out forever. I will take care of you
forever”. It’s a ridiculous word and
should be banished from the universe’s vocabulary. How can anyone know what they will do “forever”?
I had to ask myself (well,
I didn’t but this is what I do), why would anyone make such a promise and why
would we want anyone to make such a promise?
Are we as human beings so insecure that we need to hear someone make a
promise that they will probably be unable to keep and ultimately both parties
be miserable. One sorry that forever
wasn’t forever, and the other reminding them of the failed promise.
Nothing lasts forever.
It is impossible. Things change. Evolve.
Life is a metamorphous; a constant evolution that brings on new things
leaving the old, tired, and worn out behind.
We shed layers of ourselves, we grow, we flourish anew, we learn, and we
move forward. We don’t stay planted in
the same place for long because we often outgrow the pot we’ve bloomed in and
our minds must be repotted so they can grow and our souls sore. Life constantly shifts and rebalances itself,
it is the essence of living.
Now, we make this promise, “forever”. And, we are bound by guilt, remorse, and
anguish to fulfill it. Instead, we need
to understand that love has no expectations and that living is enjoying the
moment. There are no calendars nor clocks
in our hearts, promises need not be made, loving is unconditional and “forever “
is composed of many, “for just right now.”
PS.. I know I'm going to get hit left and right with this one... lol.. all comments are welcomed as usual =)
