Cycle of life
I wonder, those people who squirm in their seats seeing other people happy and in love - was their happiness crushed by some other people too? Because astaghfirullah, that is how I sort of feel now. Please do not let me be one of those people, I don’t want to.

flux, n.
The natural state. Our moods change. Our lives change. Our feelings for each other change. Our bearings change. The song changes. The air changes. The temperature of the shower changes. People change.
