We live in a world of change. Being in this world our relationships will grow, become new and mold us into a better person if we give it the opportunity.

First 

One thing im sure we have all experienced is finding out that some of the people we thought were there for us don’t show up in our times of destress. Its a hard way to find out that there is no strength in the relationship. 

Another way this can happen is if we grow apart. This can happen easily when someone freezes an image of you in their mind and only sees you as this person despite your growing and changing with time. We need to  distance ourselfs from this kind of relationship, not letting someone hold us in a box of who we once where and not allowing us to be what we will become. That being said we can’t stop caring for someone we love so anything we do and any way we distance ourselves we must do it with love and in hopes that they will grow and catch up to where we are some day. Its important to remember that people can change, and just like we want them to see us for who we are now and not freeze us in time, we must do that for them as well. That being said there are other circumstances where being more cautious is necessary to protect yourself, like in the case of abuse or very toxic relationships. No matter what you do, it should be said that you should prioritize your own safety. 

Second

we can have relationships that give us strength and help us grow into the better versions of ourselves we wish to become. Friends that stand with us and believe in us. These are the kind of relationships that are a gift, a thing we need to treasure, something that can help us see a better us. 

No matter how much time has passed, days or years, when we are with them the clock of this friendship starts to move forward as if it had never stopped in the first place. When you find “your people” never let them go. Enjoy whatever time you have with them even if your lives are full and its only moments every year, it is a gift, and you will become a better person for treating it as such. 

Third

There is another kind of relationship, the ones that change us for the better even if we are not peticularaly close to the person. This may come in the form of someone we can’t seem to understand, so we must learn to love and see the good in them. Or it can come in someone we admire and wish to be more like. In either case, lessons can be taught and learned if we just open our eyes and pay attention. 

There are shifts in our global family, these are things all humans need to adapt to and can try to use  to become a better version of themselves. Don’t “throw away you shot” in life, keep up with what truly matters, your dreams. Look for it and believe in it and stand with it. 

Take the everyday moments and enjoy them, love them and grow with them. There are dreams all around us, in good people, sunsets, a breeze on a hot day, flowers in the summer, a cold river with clear water to swim in. Look around yourself and see what the world around you to offer lighting the way in the dark universe.

What a beautiful privilege it is to be on this amazing blessed planet with all of you, every moment matters. Love life and find joy.
