Blog 15: Temporary People Teach You Permanent Lessons

Sometimes beautiful people come into your life for only a season at a time, simply to show you that good people exist. They come to remind you that love is worth fighting for, that there are people in this world who will see you for who you truly are. They come to teach you how to love yourself, to nudge you in the right direction. And oftentimes, these people leave just as quickly as they came. Let them go with love. They were never yours to keep. And I know it’s scary to lose people who were never truly yours, but with each person that comes into your life comes a lesson. Temporary people teach you permanent lessons. Whether they were a positive asset to your life or a negative one, they taught you something. You were left with a piece of them. You can and you will always learn something from anyone who crosses your path. With each new encounter comes growth, it can be painful or leave you with a feeling of bliss, but despite what you felt, it all classifies as growth. It’s all beautiful because it brings evolution within yourself. Learn your lesson and permanently remove these people from your life. They benefit from the implementation of you and crave your attention. The worst thing you can do to these individuals is to act towards them as if they are so inconsequential that you don't even acknowledge their existence. Grow from their absence. The people who are meant to be in your life, in your presence, will be there. They’ll stick by you, always. No matter the distance, they’ll do whatever it takes to be a part of your life. Those are your permanent people. They’re the people who continuously teach you lessons about yourself and your life yet stick around to keep evolving with you, rather than without you. They’ll be there when the temporary people leave, they’ll hold your hand and walk you through it. They’ll persist with you through all the sleepless nights and bring you coffee, just the way you like it, for the early mornings. Hold onto them. Those are your permanent, forever people. So yeah, temporary people teach you permanent lessons, they always have and they always will. Learn from them and grow from them. But permanent people, they’ll guide you through every lesson, love every phase of you, and continuously grow aside you. And that is the most wonderful thing in itself.
