How many times have you been left without warning? How many times have you walked through that familiar door to find an empty, cold home and failed to notice the vacancy sign collecting dust in the window? Screaming and crying into the dark, feeling that ache weighing on your chest. You swore you'd never love again; you wouldn't let yourself hurt like this anymore; but we fail to realize something very crucial, those who had left us time and time again were simply doing us a favor. You see, they were making room for another to come along. It is okay to be just a stop, a resting place for sometime, on someones journey. A lesson blowing in, teaching and loving and hurting you and when the time comes they pick up and leave and you swear you'll lock your doors, you wont answer the knocks. but please do, and thank those who have come and gone for they have left an opening for the right kind of traveler. the one who will come along and decide you aren't just a pit stop but the final destination.& if weren't for those who had left you in the dust there would be no room for the right person to make you into their home. So do not be bitter, do not harbor wrongful feelings but be thankful for you now have someone who will unpack all their baggage and stay.
