Late Night Musings

Even when I am enjoying time with my friends, I tend to feel a sense of melancholy, an aching acknowledgement that those precious friendships may soon be gone from my life and that a time will come when I only have the memories to hold onto.

People move on. Forever friends are not always forever. Some friendships only last for a season, some for a lifetime, and some end in the silence that slowly accumulates over years.

Someone once told me that every opportunity is limited. Our interactions with the people around us are limited. The time that we get to invest in our friendships is limited. We only have so much time to make an impact in the lives of others and we never know when that time will be up.
