Let’s face it. People will eventually leave us. People are not meant to stay with us forever. It’s not your fault and it’s not also their fault. No one is to blame. It’s just that they’re not suppose to stay in your life. They are just meant to leave a mark in your mind and heart that whatever happens, memories last and lessons will always be there. Melancholic response is expected. After you moved on, you may try to swallow that hurtful fact. You may try to distance yourself so that the next time you cling, you’ll not fall. You may even tell yourself that this is enough ‘cause you’re tired of people leaving you.
But you know, God let these people enter your life and took them away from you instantly because He knows that the lesson has already been taught and a new path must be taken. I’ve been there. I cried a lot of times for the people who left me and stayed in my life for just a short time. I asked God to extend their stay in my life and I even asked Him to bring them back, but I suddenly realized that they’re not totally gone. They may have little time for you. They may be busy with a handful of things but that doesn’t mean they’re gone in your life. Not all people will leave you permanently. They might still be there to support you, to cheer you up and to celebrate your wonderful moments.
Every time someone leaves, I always tell myself that maybe God has something better in store for us. Maybe there's gonna be a new person who'll mold us to become better. Right now, all we need to do is to accept the fact that people come and go. It’s not that there’s something wrong with you. It’s just that both of you need to grow separately. If God has allowed someone to enter your life, accept them wholeheartedly. You don’t need to change. You don’t need to close the doors. You need to be yourself and show the love you once gave.
When the time comes that you will now be the one who needs to leave, embrace all the memories and people. Do everything you want to do with them and let them feel that your love for them remains and that no one can replace them. Leaving does not always going to be permanent goodbyes. It's just an extension of opportunities for us to beat our current selves.
This is what I've learned at work.
