As it stands, I am this 27 year old woman who has all of the direction in the world, but continues to get distracted by the wrong men. Most likely a common problem or else there would not be so many songs written for this reason.
I just get so excited, create this fantastic scenario in my head of my perfect life with the perfect lover and become very attached to the whole idea of being with one individual before they even have a clue I have the slightest bit interested. Unfortunately this usually lands me in a crumbled mess of yet again being disappointed that my dreams are not following through.
A couple months ago, I was watching this man on TV. Joel Olstein...my parents love him and I truely appreciate his insight in how to lead a fulfilled healthy life. But this particular message shared that people come in an out of your life for a reason. They may be around for a very short moment or years and then suddenly disappear. However once they disappear, we should allow them to leave. They have come into our lives, served their purpose in our lives and we will not gain anything except pain if we try to prevent them to leave when this is what is destined to take place.
So, I am trying to listen to this message, thinking of all of the friends and guy friends that I have tried to hold onto for fear that there will never be another. My idea is to find it with in myself to do a better job of letting go when there is nothing further that can be gained from a relationship or friendship and remind myself of all the wonderful thoughts and experiences that came about with a connection with one in such a moment regardless of how long it lasted.
