The Transitional Period

When life takes over & people drift apart & move on

Amove towards the future feels like forever. From new experiences to busy schedules. A time is upon the dawn. Traveling through a time that’s always accelerating, distance is what curves the present. Leaves of a blooming rose falls over to be seeded into the ground so that their own rose buds may bloom. Forces of life blend & change like leaves in the wind. While a single rose, loses its petals if flows through the air so it can be with another.

The shifting planets align on their own to find their axis (to my knowledge at least) but there’s one sun to be centered around Routines stay the same & new encounters means new memories. The transition when these unknown occurrences shift & the planets moves away on their own (hypothetically) not by gravitational pull of the sun but by their own merit changing its own climate & future.

Transitions can be easy or difficult depending on their circumstances what’s difficult is when you notice something that always been the same, is now something different. The random inclination that you sense something different that is changing. Friends move on, feelings change & what you thought was a good time is no longer a time that will constantly be.

As time passes & seasons change, life goes on & you end up stuck in a position where you either stay the same or grow & move on. You could be the person who makes the biggest change or the one that makes the least amount of change but there comes a time when life changes. People move away, you become distance with those you held close. Granted, a global phenomenon can cause that rift to emerge & change a person’s perspective.

The show “Friends” is a good example of people going their separate ways. In the last season where Chandler & Monica Is trying to have a baby & they decided to move out of the place that created so memories through the years (that’s how it went right) & what build to be something that changed everyone’s lives has become & foundation memory that bonds them together. Even though they drift apart into their own lives, its known that they can meetup again & startup like nothing has changed.

Like watching a hero show where the main character in season 1 meets an individual that becomes that rival who is as important as the main character & during the end of the season their story closes off & leaves the main character. Twenty-something seasons later & there’s a big battle and the main character ends up in a situation where he’s unable to progress & needs help.

When the main character is about to perish, that character from season 1 that everyone had grown to love, comes in to save the main character. Without hesitation, a welcoming gesture of love reunites the heroes & we get the scene of both of them catching up.

Moments like those are ones that long term fans love because it feels like the journey was true to have affected so many people & given you the insight & energy that you had passed on in order for them to bloom & have their own wonderful adventures. Emotions will take place & even though you may hide it or heavily express it, it will validate your connection to each other.

What’s interesting is how a human goes through these different phases in life. From a young child to a grown adult we go through the same things in different times of our lives. With everything we have learned or has yet to learn, we go through these transitional periods as we do & hope that what was build stays with us.

Things will change & people will grow. Drifting apart of life as they say & its like a student who has nothing left to learn from their teacher so the move on. Whether it hasn’t happened yet or is happening currently, people you hold dear may drift apart.

If they drift apart, that is ok because it means you built such a bond with them where you will be there with them even though you may not be always there. You gotta trust that all of your interactions & growth that was built is enough to push you forward. There are always opportunities where you can share new growth & enjoy the experiences.
