We may find that the second time around, we have more appreciation for what once was.
In life, we learn from our experiences.
Our experiences shape what we do, who we are, and who we may become in the future.

Of course, not every experience necessarily leaves us with the warmest or fuzziest of feelings.
Even something that was once a good thing could have turned into our biggest tragedy.
In those times, we may flee.

Clarisse Meyer
We flee to escape pain or regret, sadness or sorrow.
And amidst our hurt, we attempt to seek out peace.
And on this journey, we often get lost.
But, despite losing our way and trekking off the beaten path, wewilleventually find ourselves.
We eventually find our way.
We may have outgrown them.
We may have been seeking out something better or new.
Sometimes we leave because we know that someday we will come back.
We know that right now may not necessarily be the right time.
Because when we left, we learned.
We searched our soul.
We may find that the second time around, we have more appreciation for what once was.
We are more prepared in handling difficult situations.
Or, we may come to finally understand the reasons we left in the first place.
And thats okay too.
