People come into our lives for a time ... and then they go....it's sorta a cycle thing i think for me...
What I have learned is to be patient, compasionate and not pushy...many times people who drift away from me, drift back...at the right time for us both.
any time i change, there will be people who are going to be uncomfortable about the change...and i'm learning it isn't my place to try and figure out why or to push to make them accept or to change myself to fit their needs.
Now that said...not only has it taken me many years to learn this...i don't implement it so well my self....its a daily struggle for me to watch others drift away...actually it feels more like they turn and head for the hills
but i've seen these things work out over time too many times to not believe it will work out as it needs to ...
anyhow thats my expereinces with this.
