someone cross your paths and change your ways forever

There is a reason for everything.

“We don’t meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our paths for a reason.” - Unknown

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, whether we know the reason or not. Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there. They are meant to serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are and who you want to become.

People do not just randomly appear into our lives, there is a reason behind it. The timing of people coming into our lives is incredibly important as well. I believe that there is no such thing as coincidence, only reason and purpose. Often, I hear or read something from someone and feel that the person was led into my life for a reason.

Sometimes, it is the message; in the words they write or in the words they speak.

Sometimes, I am meant to connect with the person and open up to them in order to grow as a person.

Sometimes, I am meant to meet someone to inspire them.

Sometimes, I am meant to meet someone to become a better version of myself.

I have been more than grateful for the people who have come into my life. I have been lucky enough to meet a plethora of people with whom I would never think that I would associate. These people have become some of the most meaningful people in my life. They are the ones I see myself thru them when we meet, when I think of the past, when I figure out my future, the ridiculous photos of myself, the laughing sound breaking out in my dreams... They are the ones who call me at late hours of the night to make sure I am okay and will stay up just to chat. Someone who just know when I need a hug, and seeing them makes my days brighter.

The people who you meet and wonder how you have lived without...

Life throws many obstacles at us and at least for me it seems these people come into my life during the toughest times. Between the amazing people I have gotten closer with from last decades and these one, they are the ones who stay, in unexpected way, but they did help me grow.

“I've heard it said,

That people come into our lives for a reason - Bringing something we must learn. And we are led to those Who help us most to grow if we let them. And we help them in return. Well, I don't know if I believe that's true - But I know I'm who I am today - Because I knew you...

Who can say if I've been changed for the better But because I knew you. I have been changed for good..."

So thank you from the bottom of my heart for those who have taken an interest in my life and have crossed my paths. Whether you have stayed or left, I have been impacted by those who have touched my heart.
