Comments on: People Come Into Your Life For A Reason

I love this. There have been people in my life that I have loved very much. Somehow along the way the relationship was lost or just misplaced. Wherever it landed it has stayed there. I am unable to retrieve it. I believe these people outgrew me. I know this because of some comments that were made to me. At first I was feeling sorry for myself. But then as time moved on I realized it was my fault. I had to move on also. Though there have been times when I have longed to have the relationship re-establish itself again, but I know it will never be. I just go on day by day. Sometimes I don’t think of them at all and then there are days when I go over all the conversations, laughter, secrets and tears we have shared and feel terribly lonely. These were the the best friends anyone could ask for. God I miss them. I ask myself why did I have to mess things up. Oh well life goes on.

Most people are seasonal. To me, they’re like leaves on the tree, they’re there to take from the tree. Once the season ends, they fall off and go away. Very few people become roots to help that tree grow.

@Pierre: I’ve met people like that as well. The sooner you realize that is their purpose, the faster you have to get away from them.

What about the opposite? What about people coming into your life with the sole purpose of destroying it beyond all hope of repair? Thats happened to me. Pierres last blog post..You either love it or you hate it

@Love, Wesley, Vicki: Thanks!

@Christopher: Yes, closure. I think some people go on longing for someone that they will never see again, instead of realizing that maybe that person wasn’t meant to be in their lives forever.

@Evita: I think some people affect us in ways we may not even know at the time, but will realize later on if we just appreciate them and let go instead of expecting something more.

@Debbie: You’re welcome. I thought if anyone hadn’t read this before, it would be good.

@Hicham: Very true.

@Richard: I guess if everyone we ever knew stayed in our lives forever, we would never get a chance to get to know others.

@Kim: I crossed paths with someone I hadn’t seen in 10 years, and it turned out to be just so I could get closure of our relationship. A few months later, and they were out of my life again, but I felt so much more resolved and able to move on. It’s funny how things like that work.

@Mitch: Sometimes that thing that you share with them, or they share with you, is small, but in the long run, it’s the small things here and there that lead you to where you are.

@Sire: I agree. Sometimes you meet people, and maybe you don’t even get a chance to really know them or what they needed, but you may still help them in profound ways that change their lives.

Sometimes I think that people come into your life not so they can do something for you but so you can do something for them and in doing so you gain much more than if it was the other way around. Sires last blog post..The Real Dos And Don’t Of Affiliate Marketing

I've seen this one myself, and it's fairly accurate. People show up in your life, hopefully improve it in some fashion, then suddenly they're gone, and you wonder what happened to them. It was just their time, and your time, to mutually meet, exchange, then move on. It can feel weird, but it happens enough so that you figure that's just the way it's meant to be.

I've often thought of this as unresolved / unfinished business. If you keep seeing the same person around, even someone you don't know, there is some kind of lesson to be learned or some sort of business to be resolved. When someone leaves your life and you don't see them again, then the business / lesson is complete. If five years later, you see him again, there is something left that still needs to be learned. The poem says it in prettier language but I've thought this way for, gosh, at least 20 years. Kim Woodbridges last blog post..(Anti) Social-Lists 11/2/08

Beautiful poem and comments. The seasonal part I find important--most of the people I know now, I won't be in touch with in a few months or years, but that's not something to despair over. It's something to celebrate. Temporaryness is special. Richard X. Thripps last blog post..Personal Development is for Smart People
