Full stops.

I’ve returned to a normality of sorts. I took the time, saw the people, waited in waiting rooms and healed. I let go of some people and lost others. I had to decide what I wanted for the future and how that would happen. I had to face everything I was scared to see in myself and learnt to sit calmly with the beautiful beast I am. In every chapter or period though it’s inevitable to lose people, over the years, I have lost countless. I have also gained the most precious relationships that I appreciate and value greatly. But I do catch myself reminiscing on the lost relationships and past memories. What are they doing now? Did they achieve those dreams they always dreamt of? Do they still think back on that one time and laugh, like I do? Or have they forgotten or avoid those memories entirely. How much of a full stop did I have in their stories? Although I do hope they enjoy a smile or a hidden laugh at some of the memories we shared. Regardless how any relationships fade or end abruptly, I would still like to remember the happiness in moments spent from a time ago. I hope I’m not alone in that sentiment.
