Getting exactly what you needed

How many times have you had something come to an end and were upset about it? I don't know it to be true, but I have found that usually it is st the end because you got exactly what you needed from it.

I will give an example:

Suppose you meet someone. You start off having a great time. They challenge you, excite you, etc... Things get to a point you never thought possible. Then they dissapear. WOW! how many people have had that happen?

Now at first there are many responses you could have. Anger, resentment, jealousy, self doubt, etc... that is life? Well... is it?

Think about it for a minute. Why are you upset? list out all of the answers and you will find that very few point to you. Why not take the stance that they gave you everything you needed for that time? For that moment?

Why give power to something that you really will never have an answer to, which is why?

OK this happened to me in my life. I flipped inside. I was crushed, but I tried desperately not to make them wrong. then I started to take stock of what happened. They gave me many gifts, grace being the one that it so often overlooked. They gave me tremendous pleasure and a new found self view. So why be mad? Well I'm human, but I am a human that has a little bit of interspection. And I get that she gave me all that was possible for that moment and I am greatful.

So if a relationship, career, friendship, etc... comes to an end, look towards what it gave you and see that it was all that it could give and move on.

Who disappeared on you Tom? - Maybe they haven't gone away completely and are patiently waiting until the appropriate time to resurface.

It's all a story, right?

LoL. Story is all we have that is ours. We write it and re write it all the time. Even the facts are a story. So yes you are correct. It is my story, not the truth.

Disappeared was not meant to be a negative thing. I apologize if that made things sound negative or nefarious. It was simply a statement that they were not available to me at that moment and I had no indication as to when they would be available to me again.

I wrote this as a revelation and as a thanks for the grace that I recieved. I do hope that curcumstances allow for them to come back into my life in any capacity they choose, but the message is still the same.

If something, anything, comes to an end, it usually was because that was the right moment.

Thank you for the comment.

Much love
