I guess you could say that I become attached to people very easily. This statement is also true when it comes to animals, especially dogs. Not so much with things, but definitely with people.

I wouldn't consider myself to be clingy. But I think it's really important in life to find a balance between being an individual and learning how to be an individual with other people.

I love getting to know the little details about a person. All of their quirks, flaws, likes, dislikes and the list goes on. I like developing connections with people and just sharing pieces of my life with them. Even if it's something as simple as a song, those kinds of things have always meant so much to me.

Needless to say, then, when I get to know people really well, I have a hard time letting them go. I don't like when a person I know turns into someone I knew. I don't like trying to forget people. I never have, and I probably never will.

I find myself continuing to care about people who no longer even give a second thought about me. I find myself caring long after there's a reason to.

In a world where everything is always changing and even the simplest of things can separate people, I've always tried to stay in touch with the people who have left a mark on my life. And somehow I think the people that are meant to be in our lives find a way to radiate back into them. It's like the universe's way of reminding us of why some people just can't be forgotten.

I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. Maybe I just have a hard time letting go of things. I know that people are going to be coming in and out of my life for the rest of my life, but I find it hard to understand why some people are meant to stay and others are meant to go.

Even if it's just for a little while, I'm grateful for all of the time I've gotten to spend with the people in my life. We are each part of one another's history, maybe a history that's lasted for a few days or several years. It's comforting to know that I'm interconnected with so many people in a world that is so big.

Everything in this world is finite. We long for absolutes that are so difficult to find. We are seasons under the sun and waves on the shore, always moving and always changing. But while we're here, we might as well try to find the people that light up our lives and travel with them for as long as we can.
