I like to think of people who once "meant the world to me"

...and try to remember everything about him/her.

I try to remember the sentimental things: the good and bad times with him/her, the characteristics I liked and disliked about him/her, the way I felt when around him/her, etc. And then I also try to remember the physical things. I try to remember the color of his/her eyes, his/her height, the sound of his/her voice, etc.

It's usually when I can't remember what his/her voice sounded like when I realize (again and again) that a person whom I was once close to is no longer a part of my life. And that's okay. I get so terrified of becoming close to and then distant from people. But really, it's no big deal. It happens all of the time, and it isn't really a thing to fear.
