Relationship

Last week, I met my girlfriend...Ex.

“你呀！”At that time,  when she recognized me,  I was playing with my daughter in playground .

There was also a boy taken by her hand, with the age close to my child.“你呀！”I was shocked. Looking at the familiar but strange face, my mind became empty, suddenly . I even tried to remember her name.

We haven’t met each other for about 5 years. 5 years ago, we nearly got into marriage.

I have forgotten how we ended our talk. Perhaps both of us hoped to get away ASAP. I even didn’t look at her eyes.

Likewise, last week, I came across one of my classmate in high school. We haven’t met for more than 10 years.

He was my best friend during those period. After graduation, we went to the different cities.

“Let’s have a dinner...sometime”

“En...I have moved into Wuhan, we will have much chance in future ”

We ended in this way. “have chance” maybe mean “never” for us. Thinking about my college classmates in Wuhan, I have forgotten how long it has gone since our last gathering.

I felt a little sad.  What was wrong? In my mind, I really hope these relationships can be always kept.

So friends, how do you matain your relationships? How many friends do u keep contact？What’s the longest relationship have you kept, except family affection?

I find it becomes harder and harder to maintain a long time relationship.

In the past, we may live in one place for all of our life. We may work in company until we retire. We have enough time and chance to build a long relationship, such as neighborhood, working relationship, friendship, etc, and always keep active.

But nowadays, it’s changed. Most of us have served several companies, right? We may have lived in several cities and plan to move into other places. Now I have worked in 3 companies, and lived in 2 cites. I believe I would also work in other companies, and would not always stay in Wuhan.

So, the time to build and keep a kind of relationship becomes less and less. From several years to several months, to several days, and even several hours.  For example, it’s popular to attend mini-class in wechat. The wechat group may be dissolved after class. This classmateship may only keep several hours.

Luckily, it also becomes easier and easier to join different communities, build various relationship, and even set up communities by ourselves.  Just like ee meet in Hanyang PIE, and make progress together now. We can get up together to jog with the friend in Beijing, and we can also read the same book  together with the friend in Japan with less time and space limits.

In the road of life, there are many intersections. In each intersection, some persons may leave to another road, and some persons may join us from another road. We can even come across our old friends in some intersection sometime.

So friends, do not feel sad because of some persons left. What we need do is to enjoy the scenes around our life road  and cherish the relationship with the persons who are accompanying with us now.
