Of Relationships
Life is not short. Life is very long. If we can understand this, we can also understand the changes that happen in our relationships. Cause with anything this long, changes ought to happen. There is no other way. If you think life is short, you will be surprised to see these many changes happening in a supposedly short time. Accept them, but be with your people comfortably. Make it a positive relationship. if it doesn’t work out, make it a positive memory in the least. Don’t fall into the traps of toxicity. Do not be afraid of voids left by people. Stay strong. Believe in life. Positive things happen often for those who are with a positive outlook.
