Some relationships are only meant for a season.
You tried; you kept going.
You did everything in your power to come together and to be with one another forever.

Sure, there is some truth in this, for I dont believe relationships are plain sailing.
However, at the same time, I dont believe all relationships last forever.
Sometimes you gotta move on.
Why its important to let go of the love you think you need:
1.
Some relationships are only meant for a season.
Just as seasons in nature change, so do we as humans.
Some seasons we need more rest and respite, other seasons we need fun and adventure.
As we ourselves change what we need, so too do the relationships around us.
Not every relationship is able to weather a season.
Its the weekend fling and the Summer love.
Sometimes thats all theyre meant to be.
Theyre not meant to be forever and always.
Its hard to want to let go of these relationships because they show us the highs of life.
Some relationships are only designed to show you your values and your worth.
Sometimes what we think we want is not actually what we really want.
Relationships are portals to a greater understanding of what our values are and what is important to us.
Perhaps their lifestyle is different than yours.
Is that something you are willing to accept, or is it something you want to change?
If you enter a relationship with the desire to change aspects of a person, it probably wont work.
Dont compromise your values for connectionit will only leave you upset later on down the track.
Some relationships are only designed to help you heal.
All our relationships act as a mirror to the deepest parts of our psyche to help us to heal.
Relationships can reflect to us both the best parts of us and the worst.
Some relationships are meant to inspire us to greatness, others are meant to be our dissolution.
Some relationships just arent healthy for you.
Its possible for these two things to coexist.
Just because you love someone, does it mean you should be with them if its unhealthy?
Relationships arent meant to feel like a rollercoaster ride or be filled with conflict.
Theyre not meant to make you feel anxious, and all consuming.
Youre not meant to lose yourself in a relationship.
Trust me when I say this relationship does not serve you and your highest growth.
Letting go of relationships is not what it seems or what we believe it to be.
It is actually an opening to greater joy.
It helps us to grow and to feel more whole.
