Getting attached to people is terrifying.
You form a bond with someone and you become close with them
And you can never tell when, not if, it's going to end.
Because everything is going to end.
Temporary is such a lightly used word but it sums up everything.
From friendships and relationship, to plants and oxygen and even the sun.
Some things are less temporary than others, like scars and tattoos.
But even those are to end one day.
But to compare a bond to a tattoo doesn't make sense.
Relationships don't go to the grave with you, tattoos do.
And even those start to fade over time.
The thing is, everything does.
Everything ends and we're so use to this thought that it hardly fazes us anymore and yet we are so surprised when they finally do.
It seems so impossible that we manage to ignore the inevitability until it happens,
And we choose then be upset about it.
Because what other choice do we have?
