Why People Fall Away as We Move Forward in Life
Why is it that we have different dishes and recipes? Why do we have cuisines? If all we need to eat is food, why don't we all eat the same thing every day? Why can't all the ingredients be added to all the dishes? How would your dessert taste with salt and your soup with sugar? Just like every dish has its own set of ingredients, life is no different. When all the ingredients are added to one dish, the result is a mess. Similarly, when all the people you meet are part of your journey, it's going to be chaotic and bad.
It's natural to meet people, be around them for a while, and later on move ahead. They may or may not be there in your life, and that's purely decided by destiny and the emotional/relationship levels you share with them. It's okay not to have anyone or everyone with you.
Too many cooks spoil the broth, you see! Cliched I know, but it's a fact and a hard truth. And it's good for your life to be special and happier.
The Journey of Life
When you say "Why can't everyone be a part of our life journey," let me stress a bit on the bold italics. The journey here means what: you will move ahead, leaving and meeting new people on the way.
Why do we lose some of them? Each of us changes and evolves over the years into a better version of ourselves. When we change, not everyone likes our changes or our personality. The ones who are meant to stay will surely find a way.
Personal Growth and Evolving Relationships
In a personal experience, I was a completely different girl during my school and college years compared to who I am today. Had it not been for a lot of failures, wrong decisions, and struggles, I would have remained the same. Thanks to these life events, I have been shaped into the person I am today.
Some people might regret not knowing the complete you at the right time, but it should definitely change for good. However, no one should ever change their personality just to keep someone in their life. They will appreciate your efforts if they truly want to be with you.
The Stability of Life and True Friends
Some things tend to be stable over time and consistent across situations. Apart from that, a lot has changed in me with time, like changes in the patterns of thinking. People will come into your life, and some will leave. Those that stay and accept you for who you are are true friends. The rest are behind you for a reason.
Love yourself for who you are and embrace the positive changes. The ones who are meant to be there will find a way. You just don't have to force anything. And with them, everything will eventually fall into place. They can be your best friends or some of the most important people in your life.
Conclusion
We are constantly evolving and growing, and as such, the dynamic nature of our relationships reflects this. Understanding and accepting these changes is crucial for a fulfilling life. Embrace your journey, stay true to yourself, and cherish the bonds that stand the test of time.
