Some people arent meant to stay.
It took me a while to accept that sometimes even the most beautiful relationships end.
Sam Manns
Sometimes, we lose people we thought would be by our side forever.
Im learning to accept that their absence doesnt have to ruin my memory of them.
I think of temporary people as helpersangels, some would say.
They come into your life when you both need each other.
You give them a purpose, and in dark moments, they brighten your life.
Its no coincidence we get attached to some more than others.
Life keeps us close to those who touch our souls.
Im not religious, butthatI believe in.
I believe in fate.
I believe that life puts people in our path so theyll light up the way.
I believe we have to trust the process.
They boost your self-confidence with their unconditional love.
Ive met all of these people.
They left, but their lessons remained.
I dont love them less now that theyre goneI do miss them, though.
The void that their absences leave is healed by the beauty of their lessons.
They shaped me into me; they taught me to love myself for my forever people.
There is beauty in the ephemeral, in these short-lived connections.
Maybe if they hang on too long, the vividness dulls and their message gets lost in the noise.
You have to let them free.
