>>648336426everybody who loves you will leave, even if it's 60 years from now when they die of old age. there's a saying that goes something like "whenever you say hello to someone you will eventually say goodbye." yeah it sounds like something from those chicken poop for the soul books, but it's true.
the best you can do is make the most of the time you have with someone. another chicken poop for the soul phrase that happens to be true. as you get older and continue to work on being a better human being, you learn ways to make relationships last longer and get a better sense of what kind of people will be easier to stay with. eventually you land someone with whom you can make it last, if not for life then for a number of years.
people make promises when they get married but the most honest ones are the pagan weddings where they only pledge to stay together as long as love shall last. you don't REALLY know how long that will be when you're standing on the altar.
