Bonds!

The experience of the old life came quite suddenly, caught me unprepared and completely off-guard. But strangely, I did not resend it, but instead, allowed the experience to flow through me, invoking memories of the past and reliving them in the present.

Sadly, the past can never be totally re-lived. People come and go. Bonds strengthen and weaken. Things will never be the same again. In the course of 3 years, I've seen the countless formation of new bonds, and the breakage of old ones. Honor the old. Cherish the new. For you never know when they will all but disappear.

I hope, with time, bonds that I had painstakingly forged will only grow stronger. But alas, I can only hope. In faith I hope.
