>You can see the beauty of a flower and it’s so much more beautiful and precious simply because it doesn’t last forever. Or you can focus on its ending and feel bereft.
hmm.
i guess...
it is hard when people go.
especially when you need them.
but...
if i had to choose between never having had that sense of connection to them (and thus being oblivious to their leaving) or having that sense of connection to them and losing that (and suffering as a consequence) i guess...i'd choose the latter.
because it hurts when you look at it one way. when you miss them. when you wish they were still there.
because it still is a wonderful thing when you look at it another way. how you felt when they were there. how you still feel good in remembering them.
better to have loved and lost....
though it can be hard to not get lost in the pain at times...
