Every person you love in your lifetime has meaning.
No one you love is irrelevant.

I used to think lost love was a waste.
Tanja Heffner
A waste of time I could have spent getting to know someone new or loving someone else.
A waste of time I could have spent with my family or friends, or working on my ambitions.
But Ive learned over time that this is not the case.
A failed love is not a waste.
And no love is truly a failure.
Just because you dont have a future with someone doesnt mean that your time with them was a failure.

It just means that you werent meant for each other.
But I like to believe that you found each other at that time for a specific reason.
Every person you love in your lifetime has meaning.
No one you love is irrelevant.
If they were irrelevant you wouldnt love them.
But what I didnt realise was that Iwasworking on myself, just in a different way.
They taught me what values I admired, or which traits I couldnt stand.
Walking away from someone I loved wasnt a waste, it was a lesson.
A stepping stone to help me move on to what I deserved.
Over time, I have learned that lost love is not wasted love.
Its a feeling that some people spend their entire lives searching for.
So how can this beautiful thing be a waste?
