You will not appreciate something you have until it’s gone.
The only time we see things at hand is when it goes beyond our reach, for people often see things too far ahead that they are blind to those at their fingertips. Realizations take place at the end of every action we carry on. And by the time these realizations come about, it is already too late.
There is something in human nature that makes them vulnerable, gullible, and helpless. Naïve in a way, taking for granted the long lists of other human experiences divulged so that others might learn. But others chose to learn through their own personal experiences, as if there is a need to repudiate what was told.
The knowledge we learn from reading is advantageous and constructs a better and valuable thinking. Even so, experience is still the best teacher of all. And who would reject the claim of Aristotle that what we have to learn to do, we learn by doing? The knowledge we gain falls down within the bounds of our very own experiences.
There is this one experience that taught me that things can last for as long as the longest time here exists just as long as we take good care of it. I haven’t studied the science of saying goodbye, but here it goes… This is my way of saying goodbye…
I know I should have taken better care of you. But since there is nothing I can do now to save you and to save me from being left behind by you… and that breaking down was never an option, I just have to face the truth that you are no longer with me… to wake me, to talk to me and to capture every moment of my life. I know, sooner or later I will learn to live a life without you. So I guess this is goodbye.
