So yes !! I have reached the conclusion that nothing is forever, everything fades. At the beginning everything is nice, pink, sweet and then, without even realizing it, it just turns grey and ugly and dull and boring…it can be a person, a thing, a place, a relationship, everything changes…and like Osho says: “you can´t step in the same river twice”.
What made me thing of all these…after 4 years, I finally went back to Afithos. Working in a little village for 4 months and having the best summer ever, it was difficult to thing that it would ever change. But it did. And like anyone else, I did not like it. Maybe bb is right, if you don´t live there anymore, you don´t know anyone, you don´t have a direct contact with the place, therefore it is just another place you´re going to eat or to go swimming. New tavernas, new people, many changes to the old restaurants, bars, cafes….dizzy.
Then there is Sani. Maybe I have always put it on the highest scale bacause that is the place where I fell in love, where everything started. I have the best and my most dearest memories (so far) in that resort. Again, everything changed, new designs, new buildings, new staff, same beautiful beach, but….it just lost its magic, it faded !
But I will not think about it ! I refuse to let go of my dearest memories about both places. They will always be in my mind and in my heart and I will always smile when I think of those places.
Thing change, places change, people change. It is part of our journey in life, our journey as humans, a journey all of us make. That is why I must always remember to enjoy the moment, so when I go back, when I will think about something after some time, I will know I was in the right place, at the right time, having the best time of my life 🙂
