but when you're alone, 13,000km away from people who were once intricately woven into your life, untangling them from that relationship is pretty tough. some people are just more tightly bound and it's harder to unravel so sometimes it's easier to fix the frays by tying more knots to strengthen that friendship. but it's tiring to keep finding stray ends. sometimes you just close an eye and pray hard it doesn't fray.
we are all threads in the lives of other people. you start to become a stray end when you're out of the picture, even just for awhile. when unmended, you slowly become a fray that unravels without warning. unraveling.. and after a long while, your once tight bonds are brought to naught. your mass of thread that has unwound to nothingness then just slips away. while other threads are slowly weaving, weaving tighter bonds.
while we each have snapshots in time frames, to freeze time and admire the artwork of threads in our lives. we can't deny that the mending process results in thread replacement sometimes, to fill the gaps of threads that have slipped away. your woven piece of artwork changes with the times. some people's artworks widen, some shrink. and well, some threads fall out over time. some holes just can't be mended.
sure, life alone is fun. you have your own little adventures and tales to tell and share. but sharing the world from your eyes is just not the same as having more eyes looking at the world and seeing different things and then coming together to share what those little eyes have spied. and it's when common moments are shared that threads are woven, strung together tighter. and those that miss that tightening, well, those they get replaced. that's life. and life goes on (with changing artworks).
out of the equation.
