Someone posted this photo on Facebook a few days ago and as I looked at it I started smiling.
We tend to look back at our relationships that didn’t work and view them as a waste of time, as if it stopped us from getting to our “one” sooner. I believe every relationship we ever have teaches us about being with the next person so if we’re mindful enough we get better and better so that one day we’re ready, ready to see the person that may have been there for a while, ready to allow them into our lives, ready to be our best selves and to see their best selves, ready to be patient, unconditional and loving, ready for that person who shows us why it would have never worked out with anyone else.
