Forever

Once, I linked the word with eternity, naïve on how it’s often used, putting too much emphasis on its definition. There is no such thing as forever, because though we may not like it, everything comes to an end.

I have come to ends, little deaths and transitions. I have been lost and found and lost again, many times in the cycle of life. I have wept and rejoiced and pondered endless possibilities, searched for dreams and known happiness.

I am not afraid of the future and what she might hold for me. Once, I would have been, but now, I embrace it. There will be new paths to choose from and new adventures to immerse myself in, because the only forever there will ever be, is me.
