Solitude

Only Forever

My perspective on forever has changed so many times I've given myself whiplash over the years. As children, were taught that forever is a for sure set in stone concept. We see it in movies, television shows, and in books that our parents read to us as we grow. So sue me for thinking that forever actual means forever.

I'm not as naive as I used to be. I've been through my hardships and I know that forever doesn't mean a damn thing. People change, people move on, and that's the way life goes. I've come to now believe that memories, life and experiences come in an infinite amounts of forevers.

The first date you went on? How you were nervous and you changed your outfit in your head a thousand times before you chose what you actually wore. How the nerves ended up being all for nothing, with the two of you stealing secret glances at each other throughout the evening and blush rising to your cheeks.

Only Forever.

Your first kiss? Your palms sweaty, heart racing as you look into each other's eyes.

Only forever.

A night out with your best friends? You might've had a thousand of nights out together but every night is different. Maybe you'll finally muster up the courage to go sing karaoke up on stage, or you'll laugh so hard that your drinks come out of your noses.

Only Forever.

A concert? Maybe you've been to a couple before but every single one is different. Maybe the artist you've seen will crack jokes with the crowd or they'll have a secret guest that'll appear to sing with them.

Only Forever.

There are hundreds of more ideas I can think that fit into the 'infinite of Forevers' category. These moments simply don't last forever. But will they stay with you for the rest of your life? I'm pretty damn sure they will.
