Hellos & Goodbyes

As we go through life there are inevitable ‘hellos’ and ‘goodbyes’.  Some people are acquaintances that we enjoy very briefly.  Some long term relationships that impact us greatly.  Some more superficial and activity or ‘common friend’ based.   

All relationships will have some aspects to them that you enjoy and some that you don’t.  That is the nature of being human.  If you are someone who has abandonment issues then knowing… and expecting…that there are inevitable ‘hellos’ and ‘goodbyes’ will help to keep you out of wondering why people have left you.    The answer is always “because it’s their life and they have decided to move in another direction.”  “Their choices are not about you…..even if it’s their choice not to like you……it doesn’t define who YOU choose to be today and that is what you have the power to control”.  Life is like a swift moving current with a whole lot of leaves floating on the surface.  Sometimes you get stuck in an eddy and leaves that have floated along with you move on ahead.  Other times, you’re the one that is continuing to move because you just don’t want to wait for someone else to ‘get it’ and you are passionate and excited about the choice you want to make. 

Regardless…..make your choices……enjoy who you meet, learn from them, make memories.  It’s your life.  Be choiceful.
