Any modifications to this monologue must be reported to the author before being used. Any questions or comments are much appreciated and can be directed to the aforementioned email address. Have you ever tried to move on? Have you ever considered it an option? Or did you just pass it by as a phase? Just another random thought that would never work out? Have you ever tried to move on? Does it really work? Can we really move on, or are we stuck where we are? Sitting in a rut as we continue on through life, never forgetting the past. Never thinking about what would happen if we moved on with our life. And once that thought does enter your head, your world becomes turned around. Can I really do this? What will happen? I don't want to lose the past and I have no idea what the future could bring. But I know if I stay where I am.... No I don't. I don't know what will happen. I don't know what would happen if I moved on, and I have no idea what would happen if I clung to the past. Moving on. It seems like such a simple concept, but when you really sit down and consider it, you see the realities of life. I love what I had and I dream of what could still happen. But I wonder if I could still be me if I moved on. What do you think? How much do we really change ourselves when we move on? What do we really let go of? Who do we really let go of? I don't know. And if I do decide to move on, can I live with what I gave up? Am I really giving anything up? And how much am I giving up? I'm not sure if I'm ready to find out. But I've never been one to wait around for something that has to come eventually. But is that true? Does it have to happen? Is it really eventual? Or is it something that you have to do on your own? A world of questions and no hint at an answer. Please nurse, some counsel. The emotions flow like a river and the rapids we've passed are still shaking things up. Is there a silent lake ahead? Or a raging waterfall? Have you ever tried to move on? Colin Katz can be contacted at kats6@hotmail.com |
