Life is funny that way.

It's amazing how we grow and change, and how life grows and changes with us, sometimes. When we let it, at least. It's amazing how some people can walk in and out of our lives, and yet others, others settle down and stay for a good long while. Some still settle in forever. It's amazing how that works.

Some people float into ourlives for a short time - we share our lives with them, they share their lives with us, and eventually, we grow apart. Never looking back. Never regretting a thing. Sometimes we don't just grow apart. Sometimes there's a misunderstanding, and we get mad or they get mad or you both get mad, and it's over. Yet somehow, each and every one of these people in each and every one of these circumstances fulfills some distinct need in our lives, and we do likewise, for them.

Life is funny that way.

Some people have come into my life, and left again quite quickly. Others have come into my life and stayed a while, but life is not static - people grow and change. Still others have been around for it all. Six years, fifteen years - at 21, that may as well be forever, so far. A person who's vowed to be with me forever, to boot? It's amazing how life grows and changes as we grow and change, and as we grow and change together.
Life is funny that way.
