I have always been fond of people who are able to talk, especially the ones who can never leave the conversations in silence. From silly nonsense to deepest confessions, this type of person will always have my ears and full attention. Constant conversations with someone special give you excitements and warm feelings, I love to be asked out to a cozy coffee house and talk just about anything about the two of us for hours. Getting to know our favorites things, insecurities, passions, and the types of people we are. I admire the type of person who knows what to say to comfort uneasy feelings, and knows what to do to lift gloomy moods. Unfortunately, all things never last; sometimes the conversations turn to silence, words turn to strange hushes, and warm feelings turn to cold strangers. It happens, and turns out, there's no need to feel guilty for what I am feeling. Things happen and nothing lasts.
I recently read a collection of short stories by Naela Ali whom shares common stories of young love, complemented with adorable watercolor illustrations by the author herself. Stories for Rainy Days shares the stories of falling in love, enjoying little affections, and falling out of love. Things happen between two people, and sometimes there is nothing can be done to change them back. I relate so much with the story of Conversations, where the sudden change of feeling happens and moving on is not the wrong thing to do. I have come to realization that I don't have to feel bad for changing feelings. Things happen, feelings change, and forever is a myth.
