This moment is already gone.
It's just a memory now.
And the rest of it?
Never actually happened.
Right now,
everyone you know
is busy with their lives.
And you've been sitting here,
all night long...
staring into space,
wondering...
if it's time for you
to move on.
You're questioning
the meaning of everything...
and somewhere in that spiral,
you realize—
you're always there,
always showing up
for the ones you love.
You give them everything—
everything you've got,
everything you ever could.
But who's there for you?
It's never enough, isn't it?
Because,
when it comes to giving back—
they never do.
All they do,
is take...
and take...
and take...
until there's nothing left,
nothing—
but the quiet ache
you keep for yourself.
But look around...
really look—
and tell me,
what do you see?
You're alone.
You've always been alone.
And you want to know why?
Because you're afraid.
You're scared of changing
the one constant
you've never dared
to change:
Yourself.
And deep down,
you've always known...
it's always been due to
your inexplicable fear—
of change...
the fear you've never really
quite learned...
how to name.

True not just for this person but for all of us. Change is the greatest fear, what it holds, the unknown, new ground. Be it the change of death or within life itself it scares us. Many pretend to change but few are courageous enough to really take the leap. A wonderful poem
