Leaving
There comes a certain time in our lives when we feel that most of our friends and family members are leaving, either physically or emotionally. Leaving can mean relocating, which could also entail those people starting their own families for instance and not having as much time for us, or dying, or simply emotionally changing in a way that puts them at a distance from us.
A number of my own close friends are leaving, each with a newborn plan and a promising future ahead. Janet, who is a great girl I am blessed for knowing, is leaving to London. Yanal, a unique character and the kindest person, is leaving to Australia. My best friend will leave in due time to Kuwait and my other best friend left and returned from the UK.
It’s an ongoing cycle, people leave and others come in to fill a certain void the earlier departure has created. I do not promise they can replace those we’ve lost but they sure do provide something we cannot do without and usually bring in a little something extra.
I reckon the reason I am sharing this is a specific need to understand the way life seems to be unfolding before my eyes at the present time. Here’s to a feeble attempt at narrating an episode of a “Why am I not blogging as much as before?” series…

<p>Tololy, I’ll be praying for you as you grieve the loss of this season of friendship with these three ladies. May God comfort and bless you with ‘others’, not to take their place, but to enlarge the habitations of your heart. He has always been faithful to this global nomad to do the same.</p>

<p>When I first finished college, I wasn’t thinking that life is gonna change this much. All I thought was that the time that I was spending in college, I’ll be spending at work, other than that, it’ll all be the same.</p>
<p>But a couple of months later, it all began to change, no matter how hard I tried to fight it, I guess it’s just the way it is. You go on a new adventure, and your world expands. You see new things, new people, and have more things to do. People around you start their on adventures, and all you can do is hope that your paths keep on crossing.</p>
<p>But the good news is, that with the internet, it doesn’t matter where you are. You can share whatever you want, with whomever you want, whenever you want, and however you want.</p>
<p>I guess what am trying to say is: c’est la vie.</p>
<p>P.S. The only constant in life is change.</p>
