A favorite supervisor of mine is transferring to another branch. Sadness.
But as I think of it, any involvement with people embraces risk to you. And the more you depend on them for the definition of your personal happiness, the greater danger. People move on. They die, they transfer, they leave. Period.
So note to self. Prepare. One can build walls and never let anyone get close and dilute the joy of the moment. Or - one can say about a beloved mate, child, friend, colleague at the height of the happiness - this is a gift but only a gift. Enjoy it fully but understand you have zero control over its staying power.
Come to think of it - your own life is like that! Embrace the day as though it were fleeting. Give it all you got. Tomorrow may transfer to another branch.
