You meet so many people throughout you life and some of them stick around, while others don’t. It can be hard to know exactly who belongs in your life. This doesn't mean that you aren’t connected with the people in your life (friends, colleagues, partners, & even family members,), but as you grow old, sometimes you grow apart.

The people you meet and relationships you form are all meant to help you learn and grow, no matter how they turn out. When times get tough and you hit a rough patch, it’s very easy to see who is by your side and who is no where to be found. It’s not that you are not as good of friends with someone, but you often grow differently and at different paces, and eventually growing without one another.

Of course, it isn’t pleasant losing a certain relationship in your life, but it happens. There should be no hard feelings during this process; it is truly just a part of growing and maturing. You have to realize what you need to grow, and sometimes the relationships you are in can hold you back.

The universe works in mysterious ways and puts you through so much to learn on a daily basis. Sometimes it is unpredictable, but in the end, everything is happening for a reason, and you are always exactly where you're supposed to be.

Remember that.
