People.

The world is full of em.

 

All types.  All sizes.  All full of different ideas.

 

And God brings certain ones to you.

 

Sometimes you see why.  Sometimes you want to give God the biggest hug because you don’t know how you could survive without them there to hold your hand.

 

And…sometimes you don’t.  Sometimes it seems like people come into your life just so you can love them and they can hurt you in return.  

 

It’s stupid to ask God to just send the right people your way.  To just send the people who are going to teach you, guide you, love you.  That would be asking for a perfect situation.  And those do not exist, on earth.

 

But I sometimes wonder why God allows people in your life that just rip your insides to shreds.  I guess it is so we can appreciate the ones who love us even more.

 

If there is anything I’ve learned in the past year, it’s that you can’t let one or two people control your pain or happiness.  If you’re hurting for someone, you must only have that be one part of your life.  It can’t consume you.  I struggle with that because I never want others to be unhappy, I never want myself to be unhappy.  I want love all around us.  But sometimes that doesn’t happen.  And sometimes love hurts, because you love them and they love you right back, but they don’t care enough to stop the pain.  It can not consume you, or your chance of happiness flies out the window.  We must look up, we must not give up, and we must not question God when he put that person in our lives.
