Some days in life return to us, not with events, but with faces. I may not recall the exact events, but I remember the people: who they were to me then, and who they are today & Vice-versa. These faces, once so familiar, whisper questions to my heart. Why do such drastic shifts occur in life? Why do relationships/friendships change beyond recognition?
Perhaps life places certain people in our path for a reason. Maybe they are meant to teach us something, to leave behind lessons rather than permanence. Yet, the mind refuses to settle. It keeps questioning, restless and fearful, knowing that there is no way back. Once a bond is altered, it rarely returns to what it was.
Today, my mind reminds me of this truth again and again. Perhaps this is the reason we fear death. After all, death too is an irreversible state. We fear it because we cannot return, cannot speak again, cannot feel again what once made life so meaningful.
And yet, despite knowing this truth, what does a restless soul do? He scrolls through old messages, hoping to see a familiar name light up again. He waits for a call that may never come. With this quiet longing, he goes to bed.
Tomorrow, as always, life will move forward. I will go to work, meet new people, face new moments. Somewhere, I will search for the same old warmth in new faces. Somewhere, unconsciously, I will seek the faces of the past in the people I meet. Somewhere, I will try not to repeat the mistakes of yesterday.
And in this endless cycle of memory and renewal, Life never allows us to go back. But it always leaves us with longing. And in that longing, perhaps lies the most human part of us—the ability to feel deeply, to hope endlessly, and to carry love even when it has turned into memory.
Maybe this is what growth really means. It is not about restoring what has been lost, but about accepting that loss as part of our journey. It is not about pretending we don’t long for what once was, but about learning to live with that longing without letting it stop us. Life keeps changing, and so do we.
But even Though.. It's not Incident ... It's Person... I remember the most...😊
