Sometimes, do you feel that some of the close friends that you have will drift apart for no apparent reason? It can be acknowledged by both parties but nothing is done. Actually, no matter what you might attempt to do to salvage the relationship, it results in futility. Just like a piece of blu-tack that has been pulled into a long piece. Even when left untouched, it falls apart naturally after sometime.
Sometimes, do you feel that things will change as you mature? Your outlook towards life, your friends...intangibles of life. Unknowingly, one gets entwined in a tangible called money. Your life will revolve around money. Keep pretending and we will keep believing?
Scenario 1
A friend turns down a get-together (eg: farewell, birthday celebration) as he/she had promised. For money. "Reality resounds".
Probably, its for last minute work, a contract job, last minute commitment...etc. Its upsetting but understandable. Friends suddenly take a backseat. We are all guilty of this. But for money? It sounds right yet wrong.
Sometimes, do you feel that time passes so quickly that you have no time to capture all the bits of memories and savour them. A lot of them are gone with the wind. I was with a few friends today. We had a nice dinner at block 85, our regular haunt in the past We wandered around the neighbourhood and bought bubble tea.
Do you know that there are pieces of memory in these food? Do you realise that there are grains of recollections in the air?
Sometimes, it's actually good to have a time for contemplation.
