10/10 would recommend this story to anybody and everybody!

This short story made me think about how I have a tendency to mourn things and people that have not yet happened, nor passed.

I am scared to connect and make memories with the people I hold dear to myself because anytime I do so, I am hit with the guilt of knowing I have not spent enough time with them, It is a spiraling loop that will only end in one way, the one way I am most terrified of; when the opportunity of making memories with them is gone, and I am left with nothing but guilt.  
I am terrified because I know the ones I hold dear will not and cannot stay with me in life forever.

Thank you for the thoughtful comment and for sharing your fears here. Loss is terrifying. It’s so easy to get so caught up in mourning the future that it becomes much harder to appreciate the present, thus losing even more time. It’s ironic and it’s a hard cycle to break.

As you can probably tell by this story, I’m the opposite; what worries me is how quickly I’ve learned to move on from grief, but that also puts me in a similar cycle of my own. I don’t have any words of wisdom or solutions, but I do know that loving and being loved is a beautiful sort of pain, and at the end of the day, one single memory goes a long, long way.
