Sometimes I feel like I'm at a dead end. We have nowhere else to go and yet, we're still trying to push forward, albeit at a much slower pace. I could liken our friendship now to a relationship that is slowly stopping the engine, but I fear that what we have even now will come to abrupt stop. The thing about gradualism is that you don't feel or realise a single thing until change becomes evident. That's why the fable talks about the frog that is being slowly boiled to death not realising because the temperature of the water is being slowly increased. That's why when we step into water, we slowly get used to the temperature by gradually submersing ourselves. I fear that in a few weeks time, I will be thrown into the deep end when he returns to med school and has new things that will take up all his time, while I will still be languishing at home, waiting for university to start.
I should step into the water now, under my own volition, before I get pushed in.
