Many of us are fortunate enough to have friends who are a consistent part of our lives throughout all our ups and downs. However, sometimes others we consider friends appear to enter, then depart from our lives for reasons we try to, but don't always, understand. This piece nicely explains the flow of people in and out of our lives. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each 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.
Then 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 is 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.

Já há algum tempo que não comento aqui, e agora até vinha com intenção disso...
but...
tenho alguma dificuldade com esta língua...
sorry
Ah!
Mas deixo um beijinho do tamanho do mundo

Querida mana,
Amizade...
Tantas vezes este conceito é muito generalizado... Fala-se em amizade, mas muito poucas são as pessoas que conhecem realmente o seu significado...
Tantas pessoas que se aproximam de nós por alguma razão, com segundas intenções... Pessoas a quem nós acabamos por nos afeiçoar e acabamos por não querer ver a realidade nua e crua, como se costuma dizer.
Amizade, que é amizade, fica para a vida... é partilha, cumplicidade que nunca se esquece.
Beijinho grande da mana k te adora muito
percebi...!
bem escrito, bem dito...!
mas eu acrescentaria...!:)
não só colmatar uma necessidade, não só ajudar, mas sim tb (existem presenças na nossa vida) por motivos mais sublimes.
bjss linda.
Minha Querida,
Na realidade, o que mais há é pessoas a aproximarem-se de nós por alguma razão... Acabamos por nos afeiçoar a algumas delas, apesar de muitas vezes sabermos que o dia do Adeus está para vir...
Mas, quando a ligação é muito forte, não é bem um adeus... é mais um até breve... Porque apesar da nossa estadia perto dessas pessoas ter acabado, sabemos que mais tarde ou mais cedo nos encontraremos... se não for mais, pelo menos nos sonhos, ou no pensamento, ou até mesmo nas memórias do passado...
"... Friends will be friends
when you're in need of love
They'll give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life
and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand
COS FRIENDS WILL BE FRIENDS
RIGHT TILL THE END..."
Beijinho muito grande!
Abraço bem apertadinho!
Adoro-te muito AMIGA!
P.S.: Desculpa não ter vindo mais cedo... Sorry! :(
