(Maybe not so) happy endings (but necessary)

From all the things we learn in life, I think understanding the impossibility of eternity is one of the hardests.
Since the moment we are born, we are given certain things, some nice, some not so much. But I want to focus on the nice ones, because we think they'll never end. The first times, we actually believe it, because there's nothing to prove us wrong, but as the things that used to bring us joy start to disappear along with the simplicity of innocence that ignorance gives us, we start to see that the world isn't so bright and white; there are also greys and blacks.
But it isn't until we lose something with the significance in our lives needed to be who we are that we realize how unfair endings can be.
The problem is that we may scream, cry, and complain, but something that has ended, will probably stay that way. Changes are necessary for our world, we have to adapt, cut loosen endings, and give a makeover to our façades.
Since my favourite band broke up, I’ve been grieving about it (and let me tell you it has been over half a year now). What hurt me the most was that they ended the band without more explanations than feeling that it was over, and even if it had been such an amazing ride, they had to go on in their own paths or something like that. But the exact words are besides the point, what I mean to say is that just now I understand why they didn’t need any other reason but that it was over; when you can see the end of something you love, you have to accept it because if you push it a little more you might ruin it, and if you go on, trying to keep it alive, you might end up hating it. I personally think, that is better to end something with good memories than with bad ones.

I’m sure that if My Chemical Romance had gone on, making music just to please the fans, forgetting why they had started the band in the first place, the idea they were in the beginning would get ruined by the idea they’d become. The same would’ve happened if they had ended it before, because it wouldn’t have been enough, it would’ve been an unfinished business. And, anyway, if they ever feel there’s something they missed, they’ll get back together and make it right
