We are never truly able to know everything about those that are closest to us. As much as we dislike that thought, it's all too true. We want to be able to protect those that are closest to us, yet when it comes to hearing the truth, it's not always easy to take in. There comes a time in everyone's life where you have to just learn to accept what is true and deal with the consequences of that. The problem that many of us are plagued with is that we like things to go the way that we have them always planned out in our heads. We like to think the best of people and hope that in the world, there's a true goodness to it. Not that I'm saying that the world is a terrible place, it's just that there are many times where it's hard to find the good and be able to keep your head up. When we're confronted with the truth, it can often make finding the way out of the maze more difficult. We're faced with new obstacles and ideas that had never occurred to us before.

The truth isn't always some omen to be feared however...it can be a sign of hope as well. An indication that there is still something left to be looked upon as lucky and forthcoming. More often than not we find people that come and go, then come back to us again. We are all made up of gaps. We help to hold each other together. When we lose someone, we end up losing a small part of ourself with them. If we are to meet again, we are never the same two people. Not able to know what has happened in the time that has passed or able to relate feelings and laughter.

Somehow though, we're able to know everything. We read books and watch movies in which the main character is able to figure everything out just by reasoning for a while. Maybe if the days were longer and we had more free time, we could be able to do the same. I think that life is more exciting with the mysterious edge to it...the aspect that just screams "I will forever remain unknown!" It's what we all strive to know and what we all are so easily able to forget.
