People Come and Go

Let's be good while we're here

By Rohitha LankaPublished 8 months ago Updated 8 months ago 1 min read

We have met many people in our lives.

Some are still with us; some are gone.

There are the ones we have lost touch with,

People whom we used to know fairly well.

This flow is simply a normal part of human relationships, involving meetings, introductions, partings,

And goodbyes.

Love, hatred, transient affection, and momentary anger flow from our midst until we depart this world.

It is important to reflect on the memories we create in each other's company.

Positive encounters become treasured memories, and negative ones turn into memories that we’d rather forget.

Let us at least be kind to each other while we can live

It will be enough.

We forget as we grow older, of course.

Our memories and the people in them are limited.

So the best thing is to leave past grudges and bad experiences behind.

For all the people who have come through and impacted my life,

I'm sorry for any mistakes and for all the other shit you brought in.

We are going to go on trying to be happy, and I hope that you will, too.
