Letting Go

“I’ve heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn. And we are led to those who help us most to grow…if we let them, and we help them in return. Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true…But I know I’m who I am today because I knew you. Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better? But because I knew you…I have been changed for good.”~From the musical, Wicked


What I know for sure is; We don't meet people by accident.  They are meant to cross our path for a reason.  Sometimes people come in your life and from the onset you know they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose. Sometimes someone comes into your life and wreak total mayhem on life as you know it…they break your heart…tear your life upside down…shake rattle and roll you awake…force you to grow, to learn…make you long for something more…leave you questioning everything you’ve known before…love you, hurt you, challenge you, confuse you, stir you, enlighten you, refine you, and CHANGE you. And some people come into your life just to teach you how to let go.

The lessons they bring with them stick around long after they leave.  All I know is we should be grateful for these encounters, even if ultimately our paths diverge; because once the dust has settled a different, better version of you will emerge.

Thanks Leo, for coming into my life!
