Another Beginning

The wonderful thing about our existence as human beings is that we are presented with a unique opportunity nothing else in the universe is afforded: We have a choice to start over whenever we please.

Where there exists a beginning, so does an end. And where there exists an end, so does a beginning. And thus, I am ready to start another beginning... placing another bookmark to an end that has yielded many experiences...

Friends...
Place of work...
Heartache...
Freedom...
A sense of self...

In no particular or relevant order, I will note.

Time and time again, it has proven difficult to let the end surface after enjoying so much of what began. It is even more frightening, in my opinion, to embrace a beginning that offers nothing more than the unknown.

After taking a break from my reality and basking in the pleasures life has to offer me, I had a strange sense of the proximity to the end. Something I've fought against for several months. And yet, in my place of peace... it was easier to accept.

We have to learn to take what people have taught us... shown us... shared with us... and apply that to the start of a new beginning. Otherwise, time is lost. Some people we will take with us. Others will be left behind and only through chance or fate will they reappear in our lives.

At the end, I just hope I've learned something. I hope I've helped make people happy. I can only hope they remain that way.
