here's to us.

Let me tell you this one story.
She always wondered how did she met him.Meeting him for the first time was magical.No,they were not introduced to each other by another friend,nor did they bumped into each other in the mall or while waiting in line at the movie theatre.No,they didn't met for the first time just like those silly love movies.But they were put in a situation together of some sort.

It was a gloomy morning,confused as fuck as she just started her first week in a new place,was making her way walking amidst a swarm of people,countless of times she curse herself for coming to that place. That one moment,she saw him,and one smile from him somehow gave her an assurance that she will be alright. It was chaotic,with all the people ,with all the noises,she just wanted to go home. Somehow,she decided to stay for a while despite the constant urge of wanting to get out of the place.And he came. He introduced himself,but she was a bit too occupied up in her head to digest everything he said. How pathetic it is to realize that she didn't paid any attention to him while he was talking.Yes ,she know his face yet do not know his name.Basically almost forced to know each other but she still could somehow get by without knowing him but she would at least know his face.What a grand shame.He said goodbye,and she was left wondering when she may see him again or she may not see him again. Either way, she never see him again for a long time. Then he end up re- entering her life  months later ,some other way they ended up becoming best friends or closer then they thought they would initially. 

To be frank,none of us would think that any of these situations and more could possibly let us meet our best friend or soul mate ,perhaps.Now once you do meet someone, in one of the situations or some other situation, you never think of how much this person going to affect your life. Maybe, you will never see them ever again or you might marry them. The spectrum is so broad so you never know .You just kinda sorta let life continue on and see what happens. You see,life never fails to surprise us,  even though you feel like you know what direction it seems to be going but there are always surprises along the way.For instance, the amount of time you spend with someone doesn't guarantee the amount you grow close to each other . Sometimes, you still stay acquaintances despite knowing each other for years. You only have small talk with this individual, nothing very deep at all. Then others surprise you by entering your life, and despite knowing them for only a few months, you’re sharing your personal life story with them. You connect to them more and treasure them even more than other people that have been in your life forever.

  Sometimes it’s beyond our control. We can’t even really control when we’ll meet someone. All that one can really appreciate is that this moment in time, there are individuals in our life. Whether family, friends, or random people we met. It’s important to treasure those that means a lot to you at this moment and don’t dwell too much on those that decided you don't belong in their life anymore and choose to leave you. Not everyone can take the place of others that have left but that doesn't mean it’s always a bad thing. Even if they were once a big part of it, just be glad that they were at least part of it in the past. Maybe you will meet someone that will not only help you fill that empty space but open additional spaces and fill them as well.

So, I could go on and on about how crazy it is that when I meet someone I never know what impact they will have in my life. Whether big or small, every people I met has affected and touched my life at least somewhat. 
And that's the best part.
