What Are You?
People come into our life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you will know exactly what to do.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spirtually. They may seem like a Godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need then to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die, Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fullfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. BELIEVE IT!!!! It is real!! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those you should build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway), and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Beautiful post Chloe. Very insightful and true. :)
Fascinating.
Reminds me, back in Sept. I met up with an old high school friend. Hadn't seen her in years. She was in NY for a yoga seminar (she runs a studio in London). We had a very nice dinner at the Tribeca Grill. When we walked back to the subway station it seemed as though we were in a time warp; it seemed like we were both 15 again and walking out to the bus stop after school, only it was a bit different. Back then she never gave me the time of day. Now she acted like I really was on old friend. I still can't get over the fact that she was watching for me at her last reunion (which I couldn't make, I didn't think she'd even remembered me.) Ever since then there's been one word in my mind about this: why? Or more accurately, why now?
Allie, that's so true- there are so many that we'd like to forget, users, abusers, flat out pieces of shit- but because of them, we're stronger people for being able to leave them behind, and being the people we are today *hugs*
