What is no longer a part of your life is no longer a need in your life…even if you can’t quite see over the horizon yet. You are not meant for the people who leave you, you are not always at fault for the people who have left, and you are not broken for those who have faded into the distance. Embracing the ebb and flow of life, and the impermanence of it all, is the way you will learn to love people when you have them and be grateful for them when you don’t.
