The failed plan

Have you ever taken the time to think about what you got out of your previous relationships? I must admit I never really gave it much thought until recently. At some point these relationships are such a huge part of our lives, but when they end, we tend to just do whatever it takes to move on to the next chapter of our lives without ever thinking about the things we gained from these people we have crossed paths with many moons ago.

Take me for example, each of the people I have been entangled with; in some way or another; has had an influence on some part of me. Of course not all relationships were positive but if you look hard enough and as objectively as you can, you can always find something good to take from them.

My most recent relationship; as it turned out; was based on lies and deceit, yet I am thankful. Thankful that I had to go through; what I can only describe; as one of the most tumultuous and painful experiences in my life. Without having gone through it, my life wouldn’t be the same. I truly believe, I wouldn’t be as happy as I am now.

I want to say this to ‘him’, you know who you are, I want to thank you. By hurting me, you made my life an absolute dream.

So my point in all this is:

When people decide upon a course of action, it is because of who they are. Be it good or bad, their path is set by their nature. What they don’t consider or expect, is who you are!
