I miss times like these

I was overhearing my sister's conversation with her best friend, Emma, yesterday - I wasn't eavesdropping. It was purely unintentional - and it brought back memories of  how I used to have the time of day to yack on the phone with my best friend on the other line. I've labeled them as "memories" or "used-to-be"'s because things like these don't happen too often anymore as we're both so busy running our lives. I can only imagine what it would be like when we start working and living our lives in the fast lane...

 

In these past few days, I've realized that I miss so many things. I miss living and feeling the wind of freedom beneath my wings. I miss getting long phone calls from people who ask me about my day, who give a damn about how my week has been. I miss laughing over the stupidest things with my best friend, talking about boys and just filling in the seconds with random stuff when we have nothing left to say. I miss receiving inspirational messages in my inbox. Lastly, I miss being a child. Sometimes, that is.

Seeing that my sister and her best friend have the same relationship as I do with my best friend sort of puts me at ease. I stood in the corner last night, at the back of the wall, where my sister couldn't see me and a broad smile appeared across my face.

And I thought to myself that some things are meant to last...

"People always say that they're going to stay when their true intention is to leave. They say "hello" when they really mean "Goodbye". And they'll tell you that they love you when they already know that it's never going to last".

“Sincerity doesn’t comes from your mouth. Neither does it comes from your words. It comes directly from the heart. Change,you can’t go around saying that you want to change and let everything be the way it is nor just let things go on freely. Your words don’t change anything. It’s your actions that counts. Actions speaks louder than words. And when you do an action,do it sincerely because you’re changing for the good of yourself not for the good of others. You’re living your own life and the people out there don’t live your life. No one owns anybody.”

So, I don't want people to make me anymore promises or vows saying that they'll always be by my side and never leave. I'd prefer it if you stand by me first and allow "always" to take it's course. Because talk is cheap.
