people come and go...

I've met and worked with a lot of people and it feels like shit seeing them go... I'm sure all of us had that kind of experience; i realized that the more u like or care about the person the harder to let them go.. don't we just wish that everything can remain the way it is? but the truth is we don't live in an ideal world. This isn't a perfect world... Everything is a mess and there are things that we just need to let go.. especially if its something that isn't working out.. besides, we cant be selfish, we might be happy they are there but the question is.. are they happy? happiness doesn't always depend on other people's happiness... only you can determine what would make you happy... of course this is a sad thing but we will soon get over it... nothing is permanent in this messed up world. I'll be a hypocrite if i say that i am happy when other people are looking for something better... we cant blame them for wanting that.. everybody wants that and its a matter or who finds it first... people will leave whether we like it or not... its a matter of who will go first... for those who are left behind, it simply means that we have to work with new people and adjust to new type of management which we don't know if it's gonna work out... its going to be difficult but its ours and not other peoples problem... we are grown ups and responsible for our own lives...sometimes i think we are not really afraid of losing them but we are afraid of change... the big question is.. what will happen now? even if they assure you of some things at the end of the day,, what will happen to you next is really no longer their decision to make once they leave... change is a huge thing but is one thing that is permanent in this world... change is one thing that hinders people to take risk.. we are too afraid of the result... i obviously feel bad... but there are things that are out of our control... like there are decisions that are not ours to make...  i strongly believe that we cannot hold back a person's growth specially when we know deep in our heart that is not a bad decision at all.. one day, you'll just look back and remember those days with a smile as you move forward.
