Short Stories That Mean Everything and Nothing

Change

Today is never the same as yesterday. I struck this realisation today. Just sitting staring out the window. No sound just thoughts echoing. The year is almost over. I'm closer to death and closer to graduating. Only 2 more years. I'll still look at the same sky wherever I end up. Yet I know nothing will be the same. I won't gain a chance to go back to the past only reminisce blurred memories. The sun is warm, a cool breeze blows. This time I have now I will never have again. Each second, minute or hour that passes is gone forever no matter how many occurrences I see of that same interval of digits. Time seemingly passes by so quickly. The next thing you know the impending change happens. The bonds you've made will be put to the test. I love them all I love them so dearly in the now. Them are the people that are "close" with me. Sure I'm probably the least important one and I know that but they make my existence less miserable. Yet the idea that one day I will lose them, whether that be I become a faded memory or death do us part it seems to be the same. As I, they will also lose who they are now. The worth you are to a person is shown in one's efforts towards you. If I'm worth it to you please reach out to me. I'm only human I can't do everything. I'm tired of being screwed around with empty promises. However, change is inevitable, but please make it less painful to know that we will all move one day, with or without the people closest to us now. It hurts, it hurts to think that my significance to you will fade you probably won't remember me. I'll become a blurred figment. I will lose myself as I have given part of myself away. Yet in addition to this I know it would have been worth it. Memories made are treasures, no matter the emotions attached to it. You'll learn and grow from the experiences, the pain, and the positivity that stems from every memory. My significance will change as will everything eventually. Worry not the future for tomorrow is another memory waiting to happen, worry for the change in yourself. May it be positive, not negative. Let time pass with meaning, not regret. Let change happen even if it scares you, or breaks familiarities. Change is inevitable; likewise to how a river flows or freezes over nothing can stop it from happening unless something changes. Just as a leaf is destined to fall your path is unpredictable until you reach the ground it leads to.
