It’s January 29th and my first entry into the journal. With another year going by, it’s not hard to manage the feels of when you leave either a teacher or beloved behind.
I spent my birthday with a new friend, that surprisingly felt as though she had been friends with me for quite some time. Thinking of the people that I’ve left behind, I know they had their roles in my life. The teachers and loved ones from yesterday helped shape today’s version of who I am – the way I love, the way I heal, the I express my vulnerablity.
Living in a four season country, you learn to say goodbye to the seasons whether we want to or not. What life has taught me, saying hello and finding beauty in the following season allows for the type of growth that brings unknown joy.
While it might be hard to leave people in the past, I take comfort in knowing those relationships will always be cherished and there is beauty in finding room for the new.
