People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When
you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a
need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a
difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you
physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend
and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an
end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they
act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire
fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been
answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has
come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace
or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it's
real - but only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must
build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is
to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to
use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said
that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

How could I not love you, when you're in my life for a reason, more than a season, and definitely... for a lifetime...
You know me inside out, more than anyone else in this entire world...
Even more than I know myself...

Hey,
Whether it’s for a season, a lifetime or even a day, I think everything happen for a reason and this also applies to the people we meet. I don’t believe anything in this world is random; it’s too complex to be random.
And I don’t know how to equate someone as my lifetime friend or companion because what is lifetime anyway? Is it based on their life? Then what if that person leaves this world first before us? Is it our lifetime then? If it is, then we can’t really say its lifetime either because we have not fulfilled all of our time given to us in this world yet. So we don’t know if that person would still be around tmr right? Plus lifetime involves from the day you were born, and I don’t know anyone now who was there since I was born except for my mom. For me, I never equate anyone to be my lifetime companion, because this would make me too attached, and I know that nothing in this world last forever. Many people are too attached with their surrounding and whenever their attachment is gone, they feel it’s the end of their life but they forgot the law of this world which is nothing last forever. I usually take it a day at a time, waking up in the morning just thankful that the person I love is still around me.
I don’t know if what I’m talking make any sense; probably I’m just being complex. Hehehe...
Madam Blogger and her Lady and Gentlemen readers,
"Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime."
If I may be bold as to suggest that we take this brief moment in time and acknowledge the above sentiment which was to give thanks for the wonderful friendships and relationships that all of us have been (and will be) gifted with in our lifetimes. We may not always realise the effect each has had upon us, but, it is undeniable that each and every one of them has nutured us to grow and develop in some way - no matter how small it may have been.
Rudster - A lifetime is not necessarily a measure of time. It can be a sense of journey or of connection. But none of this analysis matters.
Enjoy the beautiful writing, the wonderful sentiment and how it makes you feel. Interpret it as you wish. Good night Mei.
I think most people are reasons that last for seasons that give lessons that last for a lifetime...
Don't you think so? Because at the end of the day... all of us would wilt and fade with time.
the great swifty: Tee hee hee ;) We love each other... *let's hug*
wuching: i lubba dubba dub you :) kekekekeke...
rudster wudster: Wow! That was long... hehehe.. But yes, I guess the sentiment is, to appreciate what we've got... no matter how long they will be in our lives. And I believe sethos is right in the sense that, a lifetime is not merely a measurement of time ;)
Thanks for being in my life too! :D *hugz*
sethos: Well said :D I agree...
after all, appreciation is subjective. Different people may view the piece differently, but none-the-less, still beatiful to them in some ways.
anonymous: Yeaps. I agree...
But I do not wanna fade with time. I want some parts of me to be passed on, whether it's my name, beliefs, or some sorta 'legacy' I represent... but then again, that's kinda asking for too much. Hehehehe.
Some things are just meant to stay
But where they stay, or how much space they take up in our memory bank is far more important.
It doesnt mean that we have to forget that person. As long as we still hold them close in heart and in mind, that's all that matters.
But I always believe that people last for more than A season, but not always for A lifetime. That's a judgement call + fate + timing + emotion.
john vain: Beauty fades with time... There are more important things that last longer, more... eternal...
ade: Yeaps. Totally agree! :D
How's Perth treating ya?? I'm back in cold, gloomy Melbourne... :( But surprisingly, it's sunny today.
It was 3 degrees when we touched down, soooo darnnnn cooolllldddd... BbbBBrRrRr...
I miss the Gold Coast already!
Perth's great! The weather is good! The sun is out and the temperature is almost the same as Gold Coast! Most of all, I'm getting better..*grin* and getting home-cooked food!\(o.o)/
I am dreading about heading back to the cold cold weather in Melbourne! *sigh*
ade: Melbourne sucks :( So darn cold. I shall just sit in front of me heater... Speaking of my heater... my housemate just came in to my room, and took the heater to use... like "WHAT THE FUCK?" at least have the decency to call me and let me know lah! It's not like I mind lending him the heater, it's just the fact that he kinda 'stole' it from my room! He was like "Sorry, I took your heater to use cause it was so cold" when I got back... like, Yeah, I don't have a phone that you can call to let me know rite??? Durrrr!
Yeah, I was bitching to Kaz about it!
Hehehe..
Well, only 5 more months to go! and perhaps you will get a new housemate! *grin*
Chill chill

ade: Ice cold water??? Noooo! It's so cold here now, I had to wear my new polo sweater! *tee hee* - was finding an excuse to wear my new sweater. Kakakaka...
