Let them go....
I'm sure you have heard the saying "If you love something set it free, if it comes back it was meant to be". Well this statement isn't always true. We all go through seasons in our lives, some longer then others. Just like things and situations, people come and go through our lives just the same.
People will leave us for many reasons. Some due to death, some by choice and some just because you lost touch. It's not always bad even if it feels like it is. Death of course is the hardest one because that person has left until you rejoin them in your own passing. Sometimes when someone chooses to walk away from you it can feel as bad as when someone has left due to death. In this moment you need to understand that not all people were meant to stay in your life through the entire journey.
Some people are only there for a short time stopping in to help for a moment. Others are there for a long time maybe even a life time. But there are some that are there for what seems like forever but even their time in your journey is limited. They may go away for a while and then return, but they may stay gone for the rest of your journey. When their time is done in your journey and they leave, it hurts for a while and you will go through a grieving process just the same as if someone you loved passed away.
When they leave, you must take time to realize what role they played in helping you on your journey in this life. What things did you learn from them? What will you take along with you in to your future that they provided you? Please understand that when someone walks away it's not always a bad thing.
Sometimes people are holding you back from moving forward. Especially those that don't believe in you or always try to speak negative things into your life because they're dissatisfied with their own. In this case you need to let those people go. Let them RUN away from you! You can never move forward with someone always trying to bring you down to their level. You need people that will build you up and push you forward into your future and get excited for what you will become. Just so you know sometimes some of those negative people are part of your family and it's OK to let them go. Just because someone is related to you does NOT mean you have to subject yourself to their negativity and disbelief. You're still family but you can be distant family.....just sayin!
I pray that God gives you peace as people leave (which ever way that may be) and that He would grant you the wisdom to understand why they are gone and how they have helped you on your journey.
Many blessings~
