the human experience of relationships

We spend a huge chunk of our adulthood trying to navigate who is meant to be in our lives. Consciously or not, we spend so much time contemplating if the people we have are the right fit for us, what determines if they are or aren’t, and how to decided what to do about it. We count the red and green flags, we list the pros and cons, we analyze energy. These are all healthy and necessary practices, but we also have to remember that there is more to our lives than just “figuring everything out”. Enjoy things for what they are, love people for who they are and embrace the ebbs and flows that life is. Worrying too much about the alignment of relationships, strips us of our ability to trust our gut and listen to our own feelings.

My new motto is: let. it. go.

We can’t spend so much time trying to perfectly align every little piece of our lives, or being the most spiritual we can be, that we forget to just enjoy the human experience.

You have to trust your intuition enough to believe that you’ll know when you know. If the time comes where two people are no longer vibrating at the same level or holding room for the same energy, that is okay! We can acknowledge it internally and allow the rest to fall into place. When you stay grounded in who you are and continue to live your authentic truth, your people will find you and the others will fall away. Those who are meant to follow you to the next chapter, will adapt with you. Those who don’t, might meet you again farther down the line, or they may grow in another direction. When friendships expire, the love doesn’t have to. Those memories are with you for a lifetime, being present in the moment allows you to always look back with a smile. Be a little naive, you’re protected enough to just live.

Every single person that you’ve experienced close relations with has served a purpose. Whether they stay for a lifetime, or just a season, they are a part of your journey, as are you, and that is enough. Have the faith and the patience to just experience, to just take these things as they come and as they go. I realize this now.

I’ve done the resentment thing. I’ve done the trying to force things to stay the same thing. I’ve even done the anger thing. But, as my healing journey continues, I’ve learned to find the grace in every falling out, every broken friendship, every misalignment. I am so thankful for everyone I’ve crossed paths with, those who’ve stayed and those who didn’t. We will always share that one intersection, no matter how long it lasted. In those moments, it was right, it was aligned, it was meant to be. Take that for what it is and treat it with care.

To all the people I’ve ever loved, I love you forever. I love the version you were when I knew you, when I loved you the most, and I love you now, for who you are and who you’re going to be. ‘Til we meet again, I hope you continue to be your most authentic self and I hope you don’t worry about a thing. Enjoy the journey.

With so much love and healing energy,
