The People We Stumble Upon

During our search for love, trying to achieve our goals and dreams, or walking through life aimlessly, we stumble upon a  few people who unexpectedly become a bigger part of our live than anticipated. 

These are the people who you aren’t afraid to share secrets with. Unforgettable memories are created with these people. And somehow, at one point, the lucky few of them become part of your family without even being blood related. 

There will be times when we find ourselves fighting with these people. We will drift away from a lot of them as we take different directions in our lives. Sometimes, we will even take each other for granted. But there will be those special few will remain part of your life until your last breath is taken.  

Reality is, something special and amazing happened when you met them. Two completely random strangers out seven billion people shared a bond that changed both of their lives. These people are the ones who helped defined you, picked you up when you were down, had hearts to hearts with when you felt just like talking, made you smile when you thought you couldn’t more, and made getting in trouble worth it as it was something you could both laugh at. These are the people you are lucky enough to call your friends.

A Ghost of Our Former Self.

There’s a point in our lives where we realized ‘things changes’. Somewhere in the timeline of our lives we have met people that forever changed who we are, faced hardships and tragedies that changed our perspectives of life, and gained experiences of failures, sadness, and heartbreak that makes us lose faith in the concept of happily ever afters. 

And when we think about who we were before, we are faced with this stranger…this ghost of our former selves. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine that we were once just kids whose biggest problems was winning beating gym leaders on Pokemon while playing the Gameboy. We use to be those kids who would get our clothes dirty while running on a field during recess. We use to have all this time in the world to dream up fantasies of extraordinary things while not quite having to face the harsh world just yet. And we use to just be kids who had every possibility still ahead of them.

I don’t think anyone really expected that they would end up where they did, whether or not it’s a good or bad thing. But I’m sure many of us would love to be reacquainted with our ghosts, just to remember what it was like just before time seem to accelerate and we were thrust into facing the ‘real world’.
