I'm afraid of the future because you never know what will happen, maybe
everything will change or nothing will ever change. Somehow I don't want either.
Strangers become acquaintances, acquaintances become friends and friends
become strangers again. Somehow this cycle is always the same and that is very
scary. You used to think that everything good would stay the same or even get
better and that all friends would definitely stay forever, but the older you get, the
more you realize that it's never like that and that's okay, that's the cycle. You get
older and you change, that's why you break up with some people or end things
that you used to love so much. At that one moment it feels like the only logical and
right thing to do. Even though it was usually that way, sometimes you look back on
it andask yourself why. Why did I just do that? You miss the feeling that people
gaveyou or the feeling that you only had while playing that one sport. But
unfortunately you forget all too quickly the reason why you ended it or why you
couldn't take it anymore. I think everything will find its cycle but it's still very scary
when you think about it that nothing is safe and nothing lasts forever. It's strange,
but I think you have to trust the cycle in that way because somehow you've made it
to this point and somehow everything is fine. So who knows what will happen in
the future but you will have to accept it and sometimes you might just have to take
a moment and stay in the moment instead of always thinking about the future or
the past, as hard as it is. Sometimes you just have to forget what experience and
knowledge you have gained all this time and just let go of the moment like you did
when you were a child and think that everything will last forever and everything
will be fine. Everything will be fine.
