All those quotes about people in your life
All of ‘those’ quotes mix and meld in my mind, but you know the ones I am referencing..they usually talk about fate, and people crossing your path, and the meaning or lack of meaning of those people in your life.
Lately, I’ve done a lot of thinking about the people whose paths have crossed mine or whose paths I’ve crossed and part of me thinks that each and every one of them was there for a reason, but the rational side of my brain tells me it was likely in most cases just a fluke. But some, the memories however brief or fleeting, don’t leave. And there are some people I wonder why I didn’t hold on tighter, try harder, make them stay. But therein lies the problem, in that when your grasp gets too tight people tend to pull away. And some just aren’t good at sticking with it, at making something work and they are going to slowly fade into the distance regardless of how hard one tries to keep them close.
No matter who leaves you though, it’s not their decision whether they stay with you in your heart or in your soul….and sometimes I wonder if those that do, ever ever think for a moment that I may just be thinking of them, or whether there’s a passing thought of me. I wish they knew that I did and that for whatever reason, they DID cross my path. And for whatever reason I needed them to.
