Why Do We Meet Certain People?

People come and go in our lives constantly, is it fate or coincidental?

Why Do We Meet Certain People?
Inspirerr

Do you ever wonder why someone came into your life? Do you think that maybe fate brought you two together or just coincidences?

I have met a lot of people and amongst them I try to figure out why I’ve met them. Recently I met a person and we are very similar in experiences and thoughts and I can’t help but question whether we met for a reason. We’ve been through similar situations in life and we think abut things the same way.

There are things that are keeping us both intrigued and there’s also things that keep us apart. For example, he has another person in his life currently so I cannot decide if we met to show me someone that has similarities to me, or because he was put in my path for a reason. The connection is mutual but the timing puts us in a tricky place.

I can’t exactly figure out whether our timing is wrong and that's why this can’t work or maybe it isn't supposed to work at all. I feel bad for him because this situation isn’t exactly ideal to put someone in especially if they are with someone. I believe that people come in your life for a reason and you have connections with people for a purpose and hopefully time shows us why we are in each other’s way.

Part of me wants to believe that we were put in each other’s way because we were meant for each other but that is just so crazy to think about. The fact that somebody came in my life out of nowhere and we exchanged numbers just to talk about an exam is outrageous. I was reconsidering my major and I ended up in this class with him. So many signs point to him and it is one of the fist times in my life that I feel like he is here for a reason.

When we talk I feel whole but I shouldn’t because he has someone else. I would say I miss him but that is unfair because he is not even mine to miss.

Learning who is meant to be in my life and learning who isn’t meant to be is definitely something I am working on. People come and go and learning who is right and wrong is a huge issue I’m struggling with.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
