Back from the dead?!

So here is the deal...

X and Y are really good friends. X is generally more sorted with respect to life and future but a very messed up individual when it comes to personal life and relationships.
Y is the queen of relationships and a very people person but in terms of general life, messed up.
Hence X and Y are great friends. They kind of make up for each other's differences, fill in the blanks sorts. So then one fine day Y decides to disappear into thin air. Poof! Gone! And X is left wondering now what... So X tries to contact Y but nothing works. For over a month Y is gone and X is hearing all kinds of things from Z, who happens to be in touch with Y. Whatever!
X decides to move on with life, do the things on the list because hey, that's what alphabets do...!
And then, one fine day, Y is back! Back from the dead!! And X is not the same anymore because life goes on...

OK besides the fact that at the above is an awful allegory, the point I was trying to make is that you don't disappear and then come back hoping all is the same. That never works. In theatre, usually when there is a blackout in the scene, its a sign that things are going to change. And when the lights are back on, things are not the same. So as an audience, am I to sulk that things changed or should I try and put the pieces together,accept it, move on and enjoy the show? Life is the same, people need to realize. I think there should be a tonic,which should be given in daily doses for moments of epiphany. Its is needed! The need of the hour! So as mentioned in a previous post, I don't want to be the bad guy with no fault of my own!

I think it is about time that the bubble bursts,for most people. Life moves on,it is never stagnant. Change is the only permanent thing !

Moral of the story is that although I have some duties as a friend, I am some duties to myself as an individual as well. And life goes on, no matter what...
