My friend David posted this and it just resonated so much for me. I emailed him to thank him for his post. It really helped to clear my mind. Thank you David!
Body: Pay attention to what you read. After you have finished reading it, you will know the reason it was sent to you. Here goes:
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing 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 and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They 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, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person 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.
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
I've been in quite a funk lately. Most of you might not have known or noticed. It was probably better that way. I am however out of my funk. It's time to move on to new loves and a new life. I'm turning 27 next month and all this garbage residual from 26 can go to hell. Goodbye and good riddance!
*A note to all the single ladies out there from one who has gone on far too many dates.
1. Don't think too much about what you want in a guy because as you meet more guys and go on many more bad dates you'll come to realize your list is useless. Don't get me wrong keep a thing or 2 from the list but take it from me when you have too many "I wants" in your future man you'll never meet him. He'll be exactly what you didn't expect or wanted. He'll turn out to be everything you ever wanted.
2. Remember to do your fair share of pushing but don't push too much because in my experience it's better when they're karazy about you.
3. Lastly take a chance. Yes it's true I haven't had a great track record when it comes to boys but you know what? I'm prouder of my crappy track record than not having one at all.
I'm one of the proud few who can say I know what I want in a guy and I don't need a checklist. When I meet him I know. I can just feel if he's right enough to continue.
So that's it. That's my entry for today. I hope someone somewhere will benefit from it.
