An Unmistakable Ending

The thing about life is that it ends. Endings are natural, just part of a cycle. A cycle we all experience. But what happens when letting go is harder than we thought? How can we get through endings? And why do they happen? I think that mistakes are part of this cycle. Somehow, somewhere in time, a mistake will happen. The unexpected, sometimes unwanted mistake, leaves us unsure of our next steps. You thought you had everything figured out - emotionally, mentally, physically - and now you just don't know. You don't know what to do. Or how to deal with it. Sometimes you don't even believe it happened. But, mistakes happen. And it's happening. And I don't know what to do. An unmistakable ending happened. It's nice to think that it's a natural occurrence, but I'm still allowed to feel sad. Right? Is it an excuse or a reason for sadness? Is loss as natural as we believe it is? Can death happen to someone without memories? Who knows. But I'm sad and I feel guilty. Guilty because endings are natural, they have to happen. A flower only blooms to wilt. Snow only falls to melt. We are only born to die. Maybe death isn't the loss, maybe it's the life itself. And if there's no memories, maybe there's no life. Maybe there was never a loss to begin with.
