It can't be true, not really, otherwise we'd all still be pining for lovers lost or missing best friends who've moved far away. Perhaps abstinence is what "they" meant? I'd assume that's true. You want what you can't have, that's true for certain; but this notion of something being absent and because of its absence you want it, that's a little different. It implies that you once had it, and now it's lost, and you want it again more so than before. Chances are, if you let it slip away for long enough its just gotten lost in the shuffle, as many things do. You will have moved on.
C'est la vie.
It's the only way to continue living, isn't it? Keep pressing forward otherwise you're stuck in the past, and to turn another phrase: past is past.
Que sera sera.
I think it's never too late to rebuild any relationship if you want that friend or lover in your life badly enough.
ReplyDeleteWell I think it takes two to tanggo. You must both want the same otherwise it isn't gonna work :-)
ReplyDeleteTrue. But people should be able to forgive others. Absence may make the heart grow fonder, but it can also cause a huge void if you're too stubborn to forgive and keep pushing people away.
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on how you define "fonder."
ReplyDeleteI've always taken it to mean...when somebody isn't around, especially when you can't see them anytime soon, you forget there bad qualities and just really focus on the good times.
You grow more fond of them because if you do care about someone you don't dwell on the bad times and they're not there to prove your new immaculate image of them wrong.
