Let them Come and Let them Go.

Although extremely difficult, sometimes the only thing we can do is let go of control and have faith. And letting go is hard for all of us. Letting go leaves us vulnerable and that makes us uncomfortable.

People leave our lives for an assortment of reasons. Most of those reasons have absolutely nothing to do with us. As much as we want to make them stay, that’s not up to us. We can’t make people stay if they don’t want to. All we can do is set them free. After time, I think we learn a lesson from them. Someday, it all makes sense, and we understand why they had to leave. Once it makes sense, we finally find some peace. Sometimes, that person’s exit was making room for someone else to enter our lives.

My first experience in this came about 20 years ago. My best friend at the time felt that we were at different places in our lives, and she ghosted me. Stopped accepting my calls and never returned my messages. Although it was extremely hurtful to me, she had her reasons for wanting out of the friendship and I had to accept it and move on. It took me years to “get over” her, but I finally learned that her decision had absolutely nothing to do with me. Much like a romantic breakup, I had no choice but to let her go.

The same goes for people who come into our lives unexpectedly. They come to us in many forms: friends, lovers, coworkers, acquaintances, soulmates. We don’t get to decide how or why this happens. All we can do is live with open hearts and welcome them into our lives when they get there. I like to believe that these people come to us after we have expressed, inwardly or outwardly to the universe, what we are missing in our lives. There could be an assortment or reasons: emotionally, physically or spiritually.
