How Replaceable We Are

Everyone has their own time in our life. No one will forever be by our side except ourselves. We who accompany until death. Others will take turns appearing. Who today, who tomorrow, who the day after tomorrow, which everything can be different next year.

From elementary school to higher education, the actors and actresses in my life changed in such away. Some are still settled and together, and many have changed.

There are no friendships forever. Let alone friends, parents alone may not always accompany us walking. Impossible to be with us all our lives.
All have their limit. All will come to a crossroads. All will be separate and replaced with a new one. Separated because of circumstances, mate, life choices, or even compulsion.

If we pay attention, it is very difficult to have a friend from childhood until now he is a quarter of a century-old always together in joy and sorrow.

Sometimes the portion of each person in our lives will quickly be replaced. From being the first person for us to meet when there is a problem to being the number one person, we give the news.

Not mean. But circumstances do force it like that. We tend to choose what relates to our lives at this time. We choose to whom the appropriate person to complain. And the answer is not necessarily the same as five years ago or 5 years from now. Things change quickly, and so make choices.

Human affairs are not far from choosing and being chosen. We will choose who we give space and time to be present beside us. We are also chosen by other people if we can accompany them.

All options. And the choice is in the hands of each.

That’s how we are easily replaceable.

So, don’t be disappointed if you are not selected. Not chosen by your friend to confide in. not chosen by your friends to share stories. Maybe because that friend didn’t choose you for many reasons. It’s not that you’re a bad person; it’s just that you’re unrelated to the problem, you’re the one who doesn’t seem to be able to be a solution at that time, and you’re the one who has too many burdens to carry.

We will replace each other.

We replace and are being replaced.

Replace actors and actresses who play an important role in life. Everything will change according to the timeline.

The people we are with now may not be the same in ten years. We can replace them with new ones or replace them with a new one they also choose.

The transition between school and work alone has replaced many things. From playmates at school who are no longer in touch with friends at work, the reduced intensity of communication and different feelings make us choose who can always be there even when transitioning between levels of education. Different friends.
