Letting Go

I am glad, that the gathering turned out well, despite worrying about the inclement weather, among other things.

That, I realized, may be my last gathering with the mates, or with anyone else; the reality of our situation pits the priorities of everyone against one another. When I commence school next month, I know for sure I will focus on school assignments above all else, since I am cramming three semesters into one year, the others will continue to be busy with their projects and work, so by then, meeting up will almost be impossible.

Maybe, I should learn to let go of my friends, sometimes when we force ourselves to accept their shortcomings and excuses, it becomes too overwhelming and amplifies the flaws already found in that relationship. Not that we did not make the effort to understand each other better; maybe we really did, but now, I find it better to leave things as it is, preserve the wonderful memories we once had, and continue onwards with our individual lives.

I have had enough of being taken for granted, I believe the time is now, for me to depart on a more individualistic journey, where friends who truly make the effort to keep in contact, should be the ones I will want to meet up with and cherish close to my heart.
