PEOPLE

When I found this the other day, I couldn't help but think how true it was.

It resonated with me so strongly, because it made me think of a couple of people

I've met this year, or people that I've grown really close too, who I would never had

thought I could click so well with, yet I do, and in some cases better than people I've

known for so much longer.

I've been lucky enough to meet some really wonderful people, people with whom

I can completely be myself around, people who never give me a reason to do anything

but smile, people who make me feel complete in some way, people who I truly hope

remain in my life for a long, long time to come.

These people are ones who I never saw coming, yet they just appeared, like

some greater force knew that they were exactly what I needed, the right kind of

people to surround myself with, and these people have given me hope in the world,

that some truly amazing people really do exist, and hoping to meet people like that 

isn't a foolish dream to have. It is real. They exist. You just have to find them.

Or wait for them to find you.

Another reason why I like this quote though, is because it isn't all the usual

'when you find someone like that you should never let them go', because I know

that in an ideal world, once you find these sorts of people you should never let

them out of your sight. But in the real world, it's not always that easy.

One person I've met this year, I know for almost certain that despite the

huge impact they've made on my life, we will go our separate ways in a few

months time. This person, one of those special people of whom you only 

meet but a few in your lifetime, will slip through my fingers, and even though 

finding someone like them has been a dream come true, we aren't close enough 

or confident enough to keep our relationship going. 

It's just something that existed in this moment in time, and it was special, and

beautiful while it lasted, and even though I wish I could take them with me through the

rest of my life, I just don't think it's meant to be. So I guess all you can do is just

appreciate what you had, what little you have left to come, and just be grateful. 

And as for those who you meet and you know will be sticking around, 

try to hold on to them for as long as you possibly can.
