Life moves forward

I've been thinking about the people who have come and gone from my life, and I truly believe that not everyone who enters our lives are meant to stay. Sometimes, people leave, and when they do I feel it's essential to recognise their role in our journey has come to an end.

In the past I've found myself holding onto relationships that no longer served me, probably out of a sense of obligation or loyalty. But the truth is, when someone leaves your life, or you leave theirs, it's not because you or they're bad people. It's simply because their part in your story is over.

Letting go can tough. It's natural to feel loss or grief. I've learned, holding on just delays growth and prevents you from moving on. Every encounter I've had has value, it has shaped who I am and helped me grow. My destiny is mine alone, and no one can take it from me or walk the path that has been laid out for me. So when someone leaves, I trust that it's for the best. They were part of my story, but now the rest is for me to write, and holds even greater promise.

As I look back on the people who have left my life, I'm grateful for the lessons they taught me, the experiences we shared, and the memories we created together. But I'm also aware that their departure has allowed me to grow and evolve in ways that would have been impossible if they had stayed.

So if you're going through a time of transition or loss right now, I want you to know that you're not alone. It's okay to feel sad and scared when you navigate a new chapter of your life. Your destiny is yours, and no one can take that from you. That someone may have been part of your story, but now it's time for you to write the next chapter, one that holds even greater promise and potential. Who knows, their departure may create space for new opportunities, deeper connections, and the discovery of new aspects of yourself. 

Life is a journey, people will come and go, for whatever reason in whatever way, learn from every encounter and grow. We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams. Life moves quickly, live in the moment and trust the timing of your life.
