Forever is a long time.
Some people don't believe in forever.
Some people fear forever.
Some, like me, are comforted by forever.
Life is so terrifyingly lonely. So much can go wrong, and without a forever to look forward to, it's scary to believe that this may be as happy as we can get.
Loved ones are lost every day.
Sometimes, they are taken cruelly by death.
Sometimes, they are consumed with greed and hatred.
Sometimes, they are blinded by worldly temptations, lost to what is important.
Sometimes, walls are built, separating love and ripping apart futures.
But consider a forever where we can embrace all of those we love most in the warmest, tightest hugs. A forever where we are consumed with love and peace, where we can see clearly and erode our walls of hatred.
In a world with forever, nothing is permanent. Mistakes are learning opportunities. Goodbyes are see-you-laters. Fears are temporary. Dreams are achievable.
But what if there is no forever?
Or worse, what if there is a forever, but a dark forever. A scary, isolated, alone forever.
