No One Is Permanent

No one is permanent. You wake up, get dressed and go to school, you walk down the same hallway and go to the same class at the same exact time everyday. You go to lunch, talk to the same people and then go back to class. You go to practice then go home and do homework. Repeat. Before you know it, you’re graduating. the people you called your best friends, you no longer speak to, or see them ever again. Your boyfriend of 2 years is going to his dream school 5,000 miles away. you thought you’d be “together forever” but this isn’t some sappy love story, this is reality. You finally see him after 6 months, nothings the same you grew apart. You never see him again. He’s gone. It’s your first year of college and you made a few friends. You go to parties and have a good time, but then it happens. there was an accident. “It wouldn’t happen to me.” she said “it only happens in the movies.” You couldn’t believe it happened, especially to your best friend. There’s nothing you can do. She’s gone. You graduate from college the friends you made feel like sisters by now but you’re all going in different directions. Your best friends becoming a teacher, and you’re a nurse. With the busy schedules there’s no time for each other. you never talk to her again. she’s gone. You’re at work and you hear the phone ring. “Oh my god” you hear your assistant say, “are you sure?” A million thoughts go through your mind at once. Your heart races. “Your mother just had a heart attack.” Your heart drops to the floor and you become numb. You couldn’t believe this could happen to the strongest woman you know. You get on the first flight back home. It’s too late She’s gone. No one is permanent.
