I was just contemplating on permanence and presence or absence of people around me. The idea of independence is so enticing for a young mind that loss doesn't seem to be affecting. Want to be free, on my own, away, love life on my own terms - all these phrases suddenly seem to be of no value whatsoever.
Just because you know things are not permanent do you stop attaching yourself to them? Or do you take each moment and live it up that you would cherish these memories for ever? How do you prepare yourself to deal with loss? Can you even prepare like that?
Crazy! These questions never cease to go off my head and have had some significant influence in the decisions I have made and will make in my life.
Leaving now with this thought and question. Loss and impermanence - how do you deal with them? Oh mind, learn please.
