Somebody we used to know

We all have this 'somebody', don't we?

Our childhood friend whose name we've forgotten,
a best friend who used to tell us heaps of stories, but now lives in God-knows-where,
that boy or girl you used to be close to back at elementary or junior high, but now seems to grow into a different person ...


all those people we used to know,
but we don't know today...


Have you ever wondered about what happened to them?
What are their stories?
How are their lives?
If they are still the same person?


Well, we might (or we might not) eventually find out what happen to them..

But the thing is,
Sometimes we don't remember enough the contribution they gave into our lives.
Without (most of) them, we won't be the person we are today.

I mean, think about it!
Without that person who saves you from loneliness during those elementary school years,
Without that boy who unfortunately broke your heart,
Without that girl who turned out to be cheating on you,
Without that mini person who grabbed your hand first in that playground,
you might not be 'you' !


And,
whether your life now is so much better than a few years back because of them.
or it's now worse than ever,
I think we should 'thank' them for the things they've done.
Or, we should be 'thankful,' for the goodness, but even also for the horrible things they brought us into..

WHY though?
"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character,..."


The pain won't last forever,
and one day hopefully you'll see why those people came to your life, even for only a short while..


Cheers,
