We need to learn that people pass through our lives for different reasons. The ones that stay are the ones you still have not learned all you need to learn from. The ones that come and leave, their part of the story has ended. We need to learn when someone’s story has ended, that We can not hold onto them. If they were meant to stay, they will be there. Even if it breaks your heart, if it shatters your being, you have to know that tomorrow is another day. Tomorrow there will be someone to come and fill that void, to teach us another lesson. Our happiness should not depend on others, it should be from ourselves. We need to learn to be happy alone, because in the end, we are alone. In the end we have built up a network of people, people who have stayed, and people who have passed through our life. This network will have given you a story, given you the tools to say “I lived.”
I need to remind myself to stop holding on to what I want, and start thinking about what I deserve. I need to let people decide if they are worthy enough to be part of my story for years, or for seconds. That decision, is ultimately theirs. I can not force someone to stay when their time in the story of my life has come to an end.
And this, this thought, I believe is the ultimate way to say “if it was meant to be, it will be.”
