And that's how it goes, Kids...

I have so many favorite scenes from How I Met Your Mother from the very beginning and this scene from Season 9 Episode 21 ha hit me. I love how HIMYM always catches my heart and teaches me a lesson.

It's true in its most very essence that we loose touch of the people we used to hang out with and care for. As we grow and have our own paths walk in different directions, we meet more people and we go to lots of places. And we care. Whenever we find someone or something that we like most more than the ones that we hold onto, we cling onto them and loosen up on the other. It is not like a one sided situation. We all do this. Lucky for those who can handle both and weigh each at the right amount both at the same time.

Let's say when we're in high school we cling so much on our friends feeling like it is the end of the world for everyone. Crying during our graduation, calling while texting while chatting each other every after class, and hanging out even on weekends. It funny how everything feels so easy and how every time it is the end of the world for each and everyone when we were younger. Then came in college where at first we are afraid that we might get lost and that we wanted our old life back. It's like a jungle full of wild animals and wild flowers and wild everything. No comfort. No permanent shelter. All you want was for everything to end that fast. And then you keep touch. But when you find the comfort that you were looking for with no uncertainty, you suddenly somehow get a loose on the grip of the past because well there's the comfort. Slowly. Because comfort makes us happy. It is so easy to walk outside but really hard on walking while bring the package with you.

In some cases, people take their packages along with them but their packages doesn't want to tag along. Or most of the time they grow each other, only apart. It's true; it is so easy to walk out on someone's life. We lose touch. It's sort of hard to bring everyone you meet or everyone you consider as friends forward with you because eventually not all of them will think with you the same. Only to work this out I think everybody needs understanding. Everything is not always about you.

We all found our own selves and own plans with different people as we go along our life's journey, but what we can do is to understand that this is happening and always to remind ourselves that we have to make them feel that we are existing in their lives and vice versa. It's up to us who we keep and who we let go and who will only be in our memories because just like what Ted said - we have to do something about it.
