I remember being so sure of the relationships in my life. I remember thinking how lucky I was to have people in my life that care for me and bring me joy. I remember thinking that this could last forever. But it doesn’t. Nothing lasts forever.
What I have learned over the years is that even that one person, who’s friendship you so deeply rely on lasting a lifetime, will end up leaving. This might seem a bit pessimistic, but in reality it is an occurrence that is brought into your life to teach you something and help you grow. Every relationship in your life is there for a reason. Whether it is to teach you teach you a valuable lesson, or simply bring encouragement, hope, joy, and love into your life.
The people that are near and dear to my heart at this very moment are not the same ones that were there a year ago. Over the course of one short year, my life has undergone drastic changes. I have experienced tragedy, loss, sorrow, adventure, faith, hope, trust, betrayal, heartbreak, confusion, anxiety, anger, love, and joy, through so many events, and that has brought me to a point of content in my life. Content with the fact that good things will come of every situation, and that the negative feelings I have in the moment won’t last forever. I don’t have the slightest clue where I will be a year from now, what kind of person I will become, or the people I will choose to surround myself with. But that is the beauty of life. You have to take whatever is thrown at you and make the best out of every situation, because in the end, you will realize that nothing is meant to last forever and everything is there to teach you something that will help you along in the next stages of your crazy, wonderful journey we call life.
