The People We Think We Know

Ever woken up one day and realized that someone you thought you knew, you don't really know at all? It's a funny thing about life, but people change...every single day. One day you can be perfectly, amazingly happy with someone, and the next something changes and you're left wondering what in the world happened. As hard as this is for a person to go through, I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason...and if God suddenly changes you or someone in your life, there's probably some sort of higher plan at work.
I think people pass into and out of our lives for a reason, and just because you are happy with someone to begin with, doesn't neccisarily mean you will be happy with them forever, or even that you SHOULD be happy with them forever. I know this sounds like common sense, but I'm constantly amazed how many people don't seem to understand it. The fact is, there's not just ONE perfect person for all of us out there...there are lots of different people who are perfect at different times. Eventually of course, one person can and will become THE person that you'll love the rest of your life, but it usually happens when you least expect it. I know that doesn't make it feel any better when you love someone, and end up losing them (for whatever reason) but like I said, in love as in life, lots of things happen that we don't understand right at that moment. You just have to trust that their is a larger plan at work, and that it will all be alright in the end....cause if it's not alright, then it's not the end.

That God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight to you..."

*Thought of the evening: Falling in love quickly is no less valid or meaningful then falling in love over a long period of time.
