Lifes s moving then why wait

I remember one of my cousins telling me that the world is a big place and there are so many people to meet...just don't restrict yourself, go out, meet people, make friends.. Though it was hard to follow initially, I did try it out. I did meet a lot of people later either through work,by acquaintance or by chance. Many just made a fleeting impression (I wont even remember their names or faces), some left a lasting one on my mind. While some gave a tough time to me, and feelings I' d like to forget, some gifted me beautiful memories to treasure. Some just came and went by, while some helped me to grow, to evolve. Some of them just brought changes which I didn't realize but I endued them, and imbibed some habits from them. It is always fun in any relationship in the beginning, but later they get embittered. And sometimes they worsen. But how is it like when you get a call from a long lost friend, and then just start discussing those pranks you did together, or small melees, the incident that made you catch your stomach and die laughing.

Life is tough and its always changing. Everything is ephemeral yet something in everything is still permanent. So why to fear meeting new people. The world is buzzing with life, why to be dormant......
