a reason, a season and a lifetime

I’d like to share something with you about relationships. I found this a while ago and unfortunately lost the link, but if you happen to know the source please feel free to share it in the comments.

People always come into your life for a reason, a season and a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, or to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually. They may seem like a godsend to you, and they are. They are there for a reason,you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die, Sometimes they just walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall, the season eventually ends.

LIFETIME, relationships teach you a lifetime of lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway), and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Looking for somebody’s arms to wave away past harms

Listening to Elliott Smith reminds me of the time in my life when I was just at the lowest of lows, a completely empty shell of a human being. But despite all that, this music also reminds me of the great shift in my personal life that was happening just when Elliott died. I feel very self aware when I listen to it. Doesn’t it seem like we are all born full of life, powerful energy, love and happiness, and for some of us it gets stolen away and we spend the rest of our life trying to fill ourselves back up?

And Im putting myself on warning
For waking up in an unknown place
With a recollection you’ve half erased
Looking for somebodys arms to
Wave away past harms

from the song 2:45am
