Sometimes, the people who come into our lives aren't meant to stay forever, but to teach us a valuable lesson. They serve a purpose that may be difficult to understand at first, but once the lesson is learned, their presence becomes clear. Whether it’s showing us the importance of boundaries, helping us realize our own strength, or teaching us how to let go, these individuals shape us in ways we couldn’t have predicted. They enter our lives for a season, offer insight, and then move on, leaving behind the wisdom we needed to grow. Their role isn’t to stay but to help us evolve, and that's all they were ever meant to do.
It’s easy to hold onto people, thinking they should remain in our lives longer than they are meant to, but when we let go of that expectation, we make room for new growth. Some people are only passing through, their purpose fulfilled once they've shown us something we needed to understand. While their departure might be painful or confusing, it’s important to remember that not all relationships are meant for forever. What matters is the lesson they taught us and how we carry that forward. Not everyone is meant to stay, but the ones who leave with a lesson are often the ones who change us the most.

“Sometimes you have to forget what you feel, and remember what you deserve.”
Do you stand up for your partner? Do they trust you to protect them? A true friend, keeps your secrets, watches your back and stands up for you when you're not around and stands beside you when you are.
Maybe it's easy to stand up for them with strangers, but what about when it's your own family or a close friend that's talking bad about your partner, what do you do then? Do you go along with it, sit there and say nothing, or do you speak up for them? Or what about your partner's family, do you stand by and let them talk down to them or push them around?
This is one of the most damaging situations in a relationship, being with someone who is too weak or afraid to stand up for you. How can your partner trust you if you don't protect them, or worse, betray them by joining in with criticizing them?
Your partner has opened their heart to you, allowed themselves to be vulnerable and share their pain, their fears, their hopes and dreams with you, you are the person that they should be able to trust the most. It's up to you to show them who you really are, show them that you are a person of integrity, a person with the courage to protect their dignity and their heart.
We all try to be tough, to be strong, but deep down, we all want to feel that someone has our back and will do whatever it takes to protect us. Courage is not the absence of fear, it's being afraid but doing what is right anyway. When you show your devotion by protecting the one you love, you earn their love, trust and loyalty.
(This post is not implying that you should protect an abuser or if a loved one is trying to help you get out of a toxic relationship. It's to encourage people in a healthy relationship to support each other better.)

A story doesn't exist unless it's Told.
True friendship isn’t measured by the number of people around you but by the depth of connection you share with them. A friend who recognizes your struggles, stands by you in silence, and offers comfort when words fail is worth more than a crowd that only enjoys your happy moments.
It’s easy to find people who celebrate with you when life is good, but the ones who sit with you through the storm, wipe your tears, and remind you that you’re not alone—those are the friendships that truly matter.

A story doesn't exist unless it's Told.
Life is constantly changing—people leave, love fades, and pieces of who you once were slip away without you even noticing. It’s painful, unsettling, and sometimes unfair, but it’s all part of the journey. The friendships you thought would last forever may drift apart, and the love you gave your all to may no longer fit the person you are becoming. You may feel lost, wondering if you’ll ever feel whole again, carrying the weight of what’s gone.
But life has a way of renewing itself, even in the quietest moments. New friendships will find you, love will bloom in unexpected places, and the pieces you thought were lost will be replaced by a stronger, wiser version of yourself. One day, you’ll look back and realize that every ending led to a new beginning, every loss made space for something greater, and every change shaped you into the person you were always meant to be.
