People always leave

Writing has always been my passion! Ever since I was a little girl I’d been into books and dreamt of the time that I would write my own! Now that my dream kind of comes true, I want to dedicate this first article to a girl I never really got to know in person, but was meant to change my life for good. A, I wish you’re happy up there…

There comes a time in life when you realize people that used to be close to you are no longer there. People come and people go just as quickly. Certain are programmed not to stay for long but only help you out with something and after that they belong to your past, regardless the role they played in your life. These people may not be around you anymore but you know they’re gonna be there for you when you feel like needing them.

This is where fate gets involved… Some people are meant to be around you up until their “mission” is accomplished. And their mission of course is to help you with the things you’re occupying with this particular period. It could be something plain and simple, it could be something huge and complicated as well. Huge or tiny, important or indifferent, one thing is for sure: it’s gonna have an impact on you. These things normally happen without our understanding them. So, question is: are we careful enough to notice? As far as I’m concerned, I’ve always watched myself getting in and out of companies in a relatively short time period and therefore reached the conclusion that I myself may have become a person like that. As anyone has, consciously or not. Either way, the result remains the same as people always leave…

This was just a category of people that leave after their job is done. The other one –the saddest- is those who leave without any chance of ever getting back. Only the ones that leave for ever can never get back and everything else can be fixed in this life. Unfortunately, death is the hardest condition a person can bear. With a parent, a friend or a relative gone, everything seems different. Our world slowly collapses, we lose our faith in life and we consider everything unfair. The dominant emotions at the time are denial, sorrow, extreme pain and fear. Fear to the unknown, fear to a future without them, fear to changes. Inside us there’s a huge “why” following our footsteps everywhere we go. If something like that ever happens, it takes time to fully recover but even then the absence of those we love will haunt us.

But then again everything happens for a reason, they say. We may not have the strength to see it but even if we reach the bottom, there is turning back! Some day it will all make perfect sense, but until then we should be patient and endure everything that happens to us. An old quote says that the most beautiful things in life happen when we least expect them. And the most beautiful things are the ones to come… Besides one failure or disappointment doesn’t mean anything. On the contrary, it could lead us to the largest success!

Life is full of obstacles and “rain”. The key is to enjoy each moment and never lose the faith in ourselves.

Just remember to dream and wait for the sun! xoxo
