Acceptance is healthy

Currently sitting in the kitchen listening to music while I write this post, my dad does random things and my sister cleans. One of the downsides of being sick is that you have to cancel plans and reschedule them; that's always unfortunate. But luckily, a roommate of mine wasn't scared of inhaling my germs and we went to Starbucks to have a well needed talk about our Christmas breaks. We talked about a certain situation that occurred in my life that had a good life lesson behind it that I believe people should be aware of. Call me a sap, call me a loser but expressing my opinions on subjects like these is just something I enjoy doing. People need to realize that the people in your life come and go. No matter how difficult it is for you to let go of someone, it's life and it happens. Most of the time, there isn't anything you can do about it and if there is something to do about it, treat that person with respect. When someone decides to leave you, that's when you decide the type of person you want to be. You can take the route of anger, pain and rage or you can take the route of acceptance. Of all people, I know first hand that it's difficult to let someone go. My mother passed when I was little and I didn't really understand what was going on which was very difficult. But in the end, life will throw complications in your face and it's your challenge to see if you can overcome that. It doesn't make any sense to dwell on the past. Life goes on. In relationships, notice that there are other people out there. Life does not end if your relationship with another person does. If you're dealing with a loss of someone close, realize that they will be there with you even if they're not physically there. Life does not end if someone you know's life has. People come and go out of our lives for a reason. Now whether or not you choose to accept it is your decision.
