I...have some great friends and these friends have been helping me through a tough time in my life to the point where I need to take the reigns and lead onward.
There will always be a reason why you meet people.
Either you need them to change your life,
or you're the one who will change theirs.
I recently learned that I changed a person's life, but I am not quite sure the person understood what was learned. You learn to be a friend only to dessert another, the one that stood by your side in a time of need, was there at your beck and call, and was there to show you that you are a person of importance? And what did you do? You showed that person how unimportant the individual is to you for greener pastures.
-I was your cure and you were my disease. I was saving you, but you were killing me.
A person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd.
A person who walks alone is likely to find his/herself in places
no one has ever been before.
This could be applied in multiple faucets. One, exploring greener pastures and two, walking away from something when it is time. I have forgiven, but not forgotten. I have embraced losses and stopped regretting, but I have temporarily rid myself of the memories as they were only meaningful to me at one point. Now the same memories are reenacted with those whom I have been replace.
Never ignore a person that loves you, cares for you, and misses you
because one day you might wake up from your sleep
and realize that you lost the moon while counting the stars.
Actions do speak louder than words. When a person starts to do the opposite of once was you learn where you truly stand. When the calls stop, when the communication dissipates, trust begins to dwindle, and the things said or expressed become a hypocritical contradiction you know you have lost your worth. I have learned that I have, figuratively, stayed on the moon too long and need to pay attention to my stars.
-Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never met
There comes a point when you have to realize that you'll never be good enough for some people.
The question is, is that your problem or theirs?
...and then all of a sudden she changed.
She came back a completely different person with a new mindset,
a new outlook and a new soul.
The girl that once cared way too much about everyone and everything
no longer cared at all.
So did I learn a lesson? Yes, I did and even though I have forgiven the person who has caused the pain, I will not forget the repeated offense. I was told once that people in any type of relationship, defined from friendship and beyond, continuously hurt each other and sometimes it is the same offense. The interesting part of this theory is that with the people closest to me, I have not experienced this and if so, those individuals left my life.
However, the friends I have now have taught me something in correlation to my loss. I seemed to have lost heart. People whom I barely knew recognize this loss and I get this feeling that because of my loss there is a loss for them as well. I never knew I had this much of an impression. I was even told by a couple people, who I have only met a couple times, that due to my move I will be missed. First, again I did not know my impact. Second, it is nice to know when you are missed.
So with the realization of this gift, that I apparently need to find again, I have a bit more strength to move onward.
-Without communication, there is no relationship. Without respect, there is no love. Without trust, there is no reason to continue.
I am going to continue with the mindset and the acknowledgment that I should not chase things that do not exist or that keep running from me. If you are truly wanted, it will be made known. In my lesson, I have learned that besides playing Marco Polo with my heart, I have the gift (friend)
....who is going to confirm my deductions and my thoughts,
.... of an ear/eye to listen/read and help rid my mind of its insane imprisonment
....of a friend who sees things in life somewhat the same as I do so I do not feel completely demented ;)
....of distraction to remind me of what is important in life, and
....of protection from someone who would be by my side in an instant.
Life is ironic in that we need to experience one thing in order to understand the opposing view. Example: We need pain to understand happiness. So like I stated, I have some great friends who use their talents to strengthen mine. The value of importance and meaning, when you do not have to fight alone. The special thing about these people is that they understand no matter my condition, I would fight for them just as hard.
The time has come and my list of goals is expanding. I may have to do them alone.....and then again maybe not, but at least I keep moving.
Knowing when to walk away is wisdom.
Being able to is courage.
Walking away, with your head held high is dignity.
P.S. Goodbye...
