I have a feeling that the dinner party/bouquet analogy is going to stick with me for a while. It’s not a great feeling to let things and people go, but you’re so right - the gaps leave us space for possible growth.
it definitely shifted my perspective a ton and I really do think about it often. Very much everything happens for a reason 🫶🏼 glad it might stick with you too
Your mother has so much wisdom! I used to get so anxious when I would lose friends and lovers. Now I feel that everyone serves their purpose on the train of life - some are meant for most of the ride while others have to get off at their respective destinations.
this really resonates as someone losing friendships in my early 20s, it’s hard for me bcos i really try to hold on but like u say here letting go of those people will allow me to focus on the connections genuinely enriching my life now
your reflection on letting go is beautifully insightful. the analogy of flowers and guests captures the essence of gracefully making space for what truly matters in our lives. your words really resonates, and I appreciate you sharing this thoughtful perspective
oh this is wonderful! 💌😇
thank you 🫶🏼
