Julia Roberts once said, "When people leave you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn't mean they're bad people. It just means their role in your story is over."
These words remind us of a truth that we often forget - that not everyone who comes into our lives is meant to stay forever.
People come into our lives for different reasons, to teach us lessons, to share experiences or walking with us through certain seasons. But when they leave, it's important to recognize that their part in our journey has been fulfilled, and our paths must now diverge.
Holding on to those who are meant to leave only delays your growth and prevents you from moving into the fullness of your own destiny. It's not about rejecting or blaming the person who leaves, but rather understanding that your story continues beyond the chapter.
Sometimes their exit gives way to new opportunities, deeper connections, and the discovery of new aspects of yourself. Letting go isn't always easy, but it's essential to moving on to the next stage of your life. This does not diminish the importance of the relationship you once shared. Every encounter has value, shaping who you are and helping you grow. But when someone leaves, it's a sign that your journey is no longer lining up.
Their departure doesn't make them a villain in your life story, just someone whose role has come to a natural end. When you release the weight of the departed, you create space for the people meant to stay and enrich your life in meaningful ways. Giving up is not an act of giving up; it's an act of acceptance - embracing the flow of life, understanding that not everyone is meant to accompany you to every destination. Remember, your destiny is yours.
No one can take it from you, and no one else can walk the path that has been laid out for you. So when someone leaves, trust that it is for your highest good. They were part of your story, but now the rest is for you to write, and it holds even greater promise.
