What is the lesson it’s taken you the longest to learn? When did you learn this?
I suppose the lesson that took me the longest to learn was that not everyone that comes into my life will always be there. This can apply to friends, family, and even significant others. I would hear this in movies, tv shows, from people I knew but I didn’t ever truly understand what it meant until it actually happened. Without having to go into too much detail I can say that I learned this lesson when I was sixteen so about a year ago.

ReplyDeleteThis is so true. As much as we may want some people to stay in our lives, in reality many of them don't. The people who are meant to be in our lives will stay.
ReplyDeleteI agree because we all have some people that have left your life. I see people as leaving a lesson because maybe they weren't supposed to be in my life. I don't dwell on why they left i keep moving forward.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I would like to believe that everyone I encounter in my lifetime would stay with me, especially the ones I develop close relationships with, I know that 9 times out of 10 they won't. There's a saying that I often tell myself, "You win some, you lose some," and I always apply this to my life when I realize that it's time to cut ties with people and that's okay. I think that everyone comes into your life for a reason, and most times those people teach you something about yourself and the world around you, so even though they leave, they're never truly gone because the things they leave behind will always remain.
ReplyDeleteI agree, we all have those people who are not meant to stay. It's something we have to live and learn with. I think those who are meant to stay, will stay. Or if they leave and it's mean to be, they will come back.
ReplyDeleteI agree, people won't always be there and that's why you can't trust all the time. But if this happens it shouldn't hurt you because it will hurt the other person. It doesn't matter if they are important, it shouldn't affect you because you know you didn't do anything wrong.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your answer. Not everyone we meet is supposed to stay in our lives. One thing I do think though is that these people came in for a reason. They came to help us learn and become better versions of ourselves. Don't think that the time spent with someone, who is no longer in your life, was a waste of time. Try to find the lesson and see why you think they played a part in your story.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is so true and so relatable. I think what he said was true because everyone loses a friend or more and everyone loses a family member. It's hard to deal with but we learn.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to what you said. Throughout the past few years, there have been a lot of people that have left my life, and while it really was hard for a while, it really is important to move on, though I know it can be difficult to do a lot of the time. I also never believed this was true until it really did happen to me.
ReplyDeleteIt is very true and I can relate to that because I have so many cousins and uncles and I don't even talk to half of them. It's crazy to think that people disappear slowly even if we want them to be in our lives. Especially if you have parents that are separate.
ReplyDeleteI think that it's dope that you learned this lesson despite how long it might have taken you. I can relate in a way because I found this out to be true as well within my personal life.
ReplyDeleteI think I realized this during my seventh grade. I think the lessons you learn and how long they take you to learn them all depend on circumstances that you are placed in to.

ReplyDeleteSame. I've always understood it but neglected it out of disbelief and hatred. But I still learned the lesson with an extreme misunderstanding of its different forms.
ReplyDeleteI like the answer to this question because I can agree with it. I think that as time passes and we get older, people will come and go. When your life has finally settled people will still come and go, it's apart of everyday life.
