big fan of the theory that you never run into people again once their cycle in your life is complete. maybe some people were only meant to stay for a short time. not every connection is supposed to last forever, and that's okay. some people help you grow, open your eyes, or show you what love, friendship, or heartbreak feels like. and once the lesson is done, life slowly pulls you into different paths. i think that's why some people disappear so naturally. maybe life knows when a chapter is over before we do. and maybe healing starts when you stop trying to bring old people back into new chapters again.
