The Replacements

Everything will eventually be replaced.
Friends get replaced.
Toys will become torn and be replaced.
Memories are replaced with new ones.
It's a constant change in life. So when this happens, why are we not expecting it?
Why does it still hurt so stinking much?

Why is it that we set ourselves up for disaster and become so focused on earthly things that our lives are just shattered when that earthly thing is no longer there.

I guess there is just something in us as humans that makes this kind of thing a necessity. We long for relationships. Those friends that we can share our deepest, darkest secrets with. We finally find that one person that we can open to, but in the blink of an eye, they forget about you. They find another person to share their hurts and joys with.

And then there you are. All alone....again.
No one to talk to.
No one to cry to.
No one to even just sit with.

What's next? Do you set yourself up for disaster again? Or this time, are you just going to avoid the earthly relationship and build the relationship with the only One who will never replace you. The One who will never leave you nor forsake you.
