who matters?

There is so much learning to be done. Every single day, a new opportunity to learn and re-learn and re-learn it all over again. Just when you think you know everything, you realize you know nothing. And then when you feel as if your life is a complete and utter mess, and that nothing makes sense... somehow it circles around again and you feel certain that your path was made specifically for you. Life is a cycle, and it never seems to have a beginning or an ending.

The people that we choose to bring along on our journey are so very important. All of them. From the ones who hurt us, make us feel unworthy, to those who spark a desire in our hearts to be better people. Each of them has something to offer, and it is our inner voice which must tell us who to learn from and let go, and who to hold on to tightly. If you trust no one, you must always trust yourself. You must always believe deeply in the Universe and her ability to balance out the good with the bad. The love to the hurt. There is no beginning or end, but rather life is a never ending journey full of adventure and moments which can never be brought back.

Letting go and learning and holding on and learning and enjoying and tasting and loving and falling and getting back up - this is what we are here to accomplish.
