Life Path

When people come back in to your life after so many years of being gone do you accept them? Do you take back the person you dated as a teenager because you have grown? Do you take back your best friend because all you needed was a break?

I think that I may just have to. It would be ironic to end up with the same person I dated 10 years ago. Why go through 10 years of bad dates and bad relationships to end up with the person that you dated so long ago? I can't deny it, he was my one and only love. I've never had anyone like him, I've never had feelings for anyone else like him, and I certainly would take no one else back like him. Yet here he is, back - and here to stay? Not sure. But, why not take one more chance?

And what about the best friend? I thought you stopped talking to people for a reason and you stuck to those reasons. Then again, maybe not. I've thought long and hard about this. And I think I have found the key.

We all have path's and journey's that we must take. No matter which path we take - we all have a life path and we only choose how we get there. Sometimes it's on a calm path and other times it's through the mountains.

I feel like life is exactly like the footprints quote. Even with people on your life. Sometimes they walk next to you and other times you have to journey it alone. They may be going around and you straight through but on the other side you still meet again.

People are truly in your life for a reason. Those that continue to be a part of it every few years is truly a blessing. To have people that can let a past lie where it lies and start out is truly a quality that does not always exist. So when you find it, hold on.
