90. certain people

Certain people come into our lives who are only meant to be there for a moment. They arrive to teach us something; sometimes it may be painful, other times it may be pleasurable, but in either instance it’s the experience that’s truly important because it serves to teach us a lesson. Unfortunately, in the process, we may attach ourselves to these people because of the idea they represent or the feelings they allow us to feel, but holding on can be detrimental. It can go against the very reason they came into our lives to begin with. What they were meant to show us can be blinded by our effort to hold on. Sometimes we need to let go to complete the experience and gain the wisdom. It’s not easy — believe me — although it is worth trading the charming torture of their presence for discovering the next best part of you. The moments we share with these people are invaluable, until they’re not. Don’t  lose sight of what is really important, and that is continuous growth.
