On letting go

 

Maybe some people are only meant to show up into our lives for a little while just to introduce us to worlds we knew nothing about, and then quietly leave. Maybe they’re sometimes meant to stay a little longer just to allow us to feel things we never even knew our hearts are capable of, and then walk away once we begin to heal. Maybe our purpose of coming together is not so much about staying but rather about gently touching one another, and then slowly going our separate ways. Maybe the way we continue holding onto things that were never meant to last, is what brings along all the pain. Maybe, just maybe, we’re only here to learn we can find beauty in choosing to let go.
