People you may know

As I was logging into my FB, the “people you may know” came across my newsfeed. Yes. The famous “ people you may know” moment when you see someone’s profile picture and the first thought coming to mind is “wt?!”. Someone that you thought you left well behind and may not even care to remember.

I don’t regret a single relationship or friendship in my life. Even though not even a handful have held up over the course of my life. Those are the ones that have shifted and changed into something more palpable. Something that can almost be held onto, having taking its form by each of us coming into a sort of agreement and understanding of who we are. As we are. And that we are that valuable to each other to not want to lose that thread of connection.

There have been a multitude of relationships and friendships that easily fell apart before there was ever any chance of connecting on that level of allowing each other to be. There was simply no room for that kind of growth. And I think I kind of understand why. Looking at that “people you may know” suggestion, I realized why all those people have no business in my life. It’s not the “what the hell was I thinking and I am so glad that these people are not part of my life”.

It’s the “Holy Mother, I just realized who I used to be and how far I have come”. If I had continued on with those certain people in my life, it would have been only a hinderance to my personal growth and my spiritual evolution. There are more people assigned to come into your life to make you realize exactly what you do not want to be. Some of those realizations come with a steeper price than others, but they are well worth paying for.
