I think people are just like customers at a buffet. Like we expect all the plates to be filled and to refill themselves so that we can feel comfortable and keep going as each round produces each own spoils and surprises. Each round down and each round away. But lunchtime is not all the time and in life there are bound to be those moments when you get hungry and feel empty, yet there’s nothing coming up on the plate. Sometimes the things we want don’t happen and all we got to do is to let it heal, move up and let on. There’s bound to be times when you know all you want is that particular design but its not appearing and there’s just no way you can control the kitchen too. There’s got to be those delightful moments where you wish you had a cupcake and voila...... there it is! There’s got to be those times when you see something you really want with all your life and there’s the chance that as you go closer someone gets there faster with a fork and takes it away under your nose, leaving you and your chopsticks stranded there not knowing what else to do next. You see, in life we say a lot of goodbyes, and goodbyes aren’t the same as letting go. Goodbye probably means that we’re going to see each other again. Maybe then I’ll hold your hand and you’ll hold mine back too. But letting go is so different. Its perhaps the time when you’ll look someone in the eye, say bye without the good, and know that as much as you’d love to hold her hand, you know now that its sadly not yours to hold, so you won’t try to do it again even if it kills you inside to know there isn’t anyone else you would do so for. We may hope and pray that things get better as time goes by, but we’ve all got to admit that it could well be that we miss more as each day passes. You can ask, I love you, why isn’t that enough? But it just isn’t if they don’t feel so. We decide our dreams, our directions, and in doing so determine where we end up. I feel that actually, the things we say don’t account for much. What we do makes the difference. What we choose too. Without realizing it, most of the time its the people we’re having lunch with, much more than what we’re eating, that teaches us a lot of things. I think, we all need more than food on the table to get us by. Sometimes, all you need are people to eat your lunch with and talk about the weather, the news, or our hopes and ambitions. You can have your regular crowd that you know you can’t do without, like family, some people like friends who are fun to have meals with and some people you’d hope to see along the line and at your table every day for the rest of your life, to love. I guess we all have to enjoy what we put on the table, and above all, need to find forever in each others company. Still, never leave the people who won’t give up on you for they will wait there if you would just let them wait and they will patiently and painfully wait for you to return one day, like it or not. And when some people leave, when its because they have to or want to, because you want them to, or even when its because they die, I think the hardest part is not being able to feel again how it felt like before when he or she was still around, and some times, nothing is going to bring them back. Whats important? Forget the food. Treasure the people


that's priceless
