Do you think some people are temporary in your life to teach you a lesson?

[Paulalove98]

For example a relationship, friendship, fling, family member etc anyone who has left your life or you felt the need to leave. I've always felt like there was a reason behind it growing up and they left to bring better relationships to come in my life. It's kind of weird and crazy how i think about it now and reflect on it like wow i wonder how life would've been if so and so did this or maybe i said something differently. Thoughts?

I guess i was the girl who always cared a lot about others and did the best i could to be kind, loyal, considerate, dedicated but If anything i learned my worth and im the only one who needs to recognize it. Im grateful for my few fantastic friends today since grade school and few close family here for me. I just wish those people a good life either way and keep them in my heart.

I had a weird dream about one of my (worst) gfs last night. She invited me to hang and at the same time invited her boyfriend to hang out with us. I acted surface cordial and he acted surface cordial but we were both looking at her and thinking that same thing (wtf?). At one point he left and I talked her directly. I asked her “why the hell did you ask me to hang out and not tell me you had a boyfriend?” She gave me this perplexed guilty look. He came back and we all got a round go shots. I toasted saying “to old habits…. they die hard”.

I don't know if all of those occurences were planned by the Master, but there have certainly been a number of people who came into my life, I learned a lesson, and now they're gone.

No. I just think most, if not all, relationships are not meant to last forever.

[Paulalove98]

Nothing really does last forever in this life tbh huh

Before seeing that expressed in your question, I never thought about it, but maybe you are right about that, although, I will forever regret that some of those people are forever gone from my life and the message, or truth they taught me is still with me to this day.

Your question, and the idea behind it is one I will ponder for a long time, my friend.

Every relationship has a reason some are only for a season while others last a lifetime. I think also sometimes God is protecting people by moving someone out of their life who later on turns out not to be good for them.

Every interaction that you have is an opportunity for a lesson of what to do and what not to do.

I think you're right and at the same time some relationships are just plain temporary with no lesson attached. This was a really insightful question/thought.

I believe my ex-girlfriend who was in my life was in my life for a short term and that was it.

life is all about taking chances and also making mistakes along the way but is all a learning experience. got to live your life and keep on smiling 😘🔥😇

That’s a very good Point. But we’re so caught up in our own lives that we miss the lesson.

[FireFox001]

My problem is that I am that temporary person who teaches the lessons and I am fucking sick of it.

[Anonymous]

Jokes on them! I don't learn lessons! 🤣🤣🤣

[MCheetah]

Nope. Most people suck.

[Iron_Man]

I don’t think so

[BLP11520]

Certainly, learning lifes lessons as you go

[CubaPirate]

That's quite possible
