I truly believe that people come into our lives for a reason. Be it a blessing or a lesson. To teach or to learn something from us. The people we met in our journey of life, i believe are destined to come into our life, at the right time and for the right reason. Some may stay for a lifetime, some only for a while.
But it is often those who stayed for a short while that made a very big impression on us. Not only in our lives but in our hearts as well. They will make a difference and change our lives in ways that we couldn't imagine. Because of them, we learn some of life best lessons and sometimes, we learn something about ourselves and learn to see ourselves through their eyes. We learn to appreciate and love ourself.
People come and go and if you are lucky, you'll meet that special person who will stay in your heart no matter what. Sometimes all it takes is one special person to help us look inside ourselves and find a whole different person that we never knew existed.
Even though they may not stay in your life as long as you wanted, the lessons we learned from them stayed with us forever. During your hard times, you'll be glad to look back and know that because of that one individual, we are who we are now. A better person because of that individual.
There are many people i met on my journey but there is one particular person who made such a huge impression on me that i will never forget him for a lifetime. The lessons, the feelings he gave me helped me go through my bad days.
He came into my life when i hit rock bottom. I was unlovable, miserable, depressed, confused, lost, insecure, my confidence and self-esteem was extremely low. Like an angel, he came into my life at that exact moment when i needed somebody. He's not the most good-looking guy around. Nor is he educated with big shot job or money. We were of the complete opposite personality. I am always anxious, a worrier and sometimes bossy and he's always so laid back, patient, care-free and down to earth. We got on extremely well.
In that short period of encounter, he taught me so many things and made me feel brand-new. He made me feel like I'm the luckiest person on earth. He has this calming effect on me and made me smile and laugh so much my cheeks hurts. I can talk about anything and everything with him without being judged. He helped me to pick up the pieces and start anew. He made me a better person.
But sometimes doesn't matter how right some things felt, if its not meant to be, it will not happen.. As much as i wanted him to stay, when his purpose is done, he left. That's just how things are. But the lessons he taught stayed with me forever.
I'm forever grateful for the love, friendship, encouragements, support, an ear and a shoulder to cry on he extended during the short encounter. And i thanked God everyday for sending this angel in disguise in time of my greatest need.
How about you? Has anyone came into your life and changed you for the better?
This gave me goosebumps! Everything I just read is like you knew my life. My angel came into my life at a very rough depressing time, he showed me it was ok to breath an relax an not worry so much about the world. I am blessed enough that 5 years later he is still in my life an everyday feels as if he crossed my path for the first time!
