Life is governed by cycles. The cycles of the moon around the earth, the cycles of seasons, the cycles of man-made schedules that govern our days. There are beginnings and inevitably there are endings.
I have never been good at the endings part. The cycle of yet another academic school year has ended and some of the people I have had the incredible joy of meeting and becoming friends with are now moving on. It hurts! I have never been okay with idea of not seeing someone again, especially someone that I have become close with. I get it that feeling the sadness and the emptiness of that person’s departure indicates that the relationship was real and sincere, but it doesn’t make it easier.
An ending means that a new beginning is about to happen though. The cycle of life continues. The sadness will become bearable, and eventually fade, and the excitement of the adventure will arise, phoenix-like, from the ashes.
I once heard a saying;
“People come into our lives in three different ways,
Some, for a reason,
Some for a season,
And some for a lifetime!
To the wonderful people who have come into my life for a reason, or for this season, I salute you and thank you. Know that your departure is not taken lightly. Those that have come into it for a lifetime, I’ll see you soon!
