40. PHASES OF LIFE

We go through life, we begin to realize that there once were companies that we enjoyed, people we loved to be with, places we loved to go and groups we loved to be among that don’t just cut it anymore.

We realize that each day, we try to hold unto these groups or these people because of the sentiments we have shared with them once upon a time, but as hard as we try, they don’t just fit into the phase of life we are now in.
Are they terrible people? No.Are we terrible people? No.It is not always about personality differences or misunderstandings. Sometimes, it is just life. Life moving into different phases that these people don’t fit into. 

Sometimes it is about growth.We grow out of things, out of people, out of attitudes and characters, and these people don’t just fit into them anymore.
At this juncture, many of us try to stick with them either by fitting into their own phase of life, or by chiseling them into our own phase of life. But we do not realize that when we try to do either of these, we break ourselves or we break them in the process, and at the end of the day, they still would not just fit in.

We must learn to leg go of people, but in letting go of people, let us also note that there are very few people in our lives that come to stay forever. When we recognize these people, it won’t be a struggle sticking to them for the rest of our lives.

If you have a contrary opinion or have questions, I am one DM away!
