Although this quote is an example of a rhetorical question, but what the quote is trying to imply is that trying to find something permanent in a world full nothing but change is hard. Especially if one is trying to find permanent intimacy from other people. A good example of this are people whom are complete strangers when you met but later on in life becomes dearly to you. People think that if one is committed to the other person, he/she would feel the same. But not all the time that is the case. People tend to forget that people are just human beings and will eventually change as time goes by.
The ones you trust and hold dearly the most will just eventually leave you if they find someone better. But at the end of the day, all you really have is yourself. Even your own shadow leaves you when you're in the dark.
One of the painful things in life is that people whom give you so much good memories, becomes a memory. Occurrences like this happens all the time. That is what you call the pain of living my friend, seeing people drift away. They say that it hurts a whole lot once the people whom you've taken for granted eventually disappears. But what about the ones where they treasured the people whom are very important to them but still left, isn't that more painful?
I used to have a friend whom I never thought will become so close to me. He started of as a nobody and being familiar with how loneliness feels like, I decided to approach him, then little by little a bond started to create. As days becomes weeks, and weeks into months, and months eventually turned into years, he eventually got famous and known. With this, it became a sort of passage for him to dwell on people on his level. Later on, he became friends with these famous individuals as well and slowly became distant. I tried to approach with small talks but he is no longer interested and barely cares about losing me. This proves that meeting new people makes you forgot the ones who were there for you. But still, life stops for no one.
As of now, it seems that everything is just happening very fast that we barely have time to reminisce good old times. In relationships, technologies paired with social medias plays a very big part. People seem to be only interested in people whom can enhance their names. They eventually fall in love with people whom have good looks but with no attitude at all. Relationships now is just like a token, that people no longer takes time to know each other and ends up in bad situations that they've placed themselves into. Just like in marriages. Not knowing your partner that well could eventually lead into a divorce.
But heartaches are not all bad. Sometimes they can show you lessons in life you never knew. Just like most song artists. Because of their experiences, they are able to make songs out of feelings. A great example of this is Billie Eilish. She made songs about pain on losing someone, suffering of one's judgement, and many other else. She was able to make beautiful songs for she had experienced depression on a very young age. She is now famous because of her songs for a lot of people can relate to it. She's also a great example of a person going through so much pain but still smiles through life.
In the end everyone makes mistakes that later on becomes a regret. But pain is a part of living. And that no matter what happens life will just go on. So if it seems that people make you feel special and promises different things, just remember that promises are just mere words. Everyone can say words but not everyone meant the words they say.
