When you're in the wilderness you can't see the valley for the trees. There will be many difficult times in life where you will need to make decisions that free you from the wilderness. Those decisions may be family, friends, relationships, situationships, jobs or just plain revamping your own self care.
I've always been a person that thrives on relationships. It's in my makeup! Anyone that knows me can tell you that I'm about networking and building relationships. At the same time, I'm also cognizant of those relationships that no longer serve a purpose in my life. It's nothing that either of us have done, it's just the simple fact of "the valley is in need of them" which is why they must move on.
I also have had relationships that either I walked away from or they walked away from me. Those are the ones that seem to lay heaviest on my heart, in my mind and my spirit. Although there was a departure, I'm the type of person that long for and/or need closure. I will still be there for them if needed, yet I learned that I can't expect that from everyone.
I was told by one of my girlfriends that everyone is not like me. For instance, I can have a romantic/intimate relationship with someone, never have that again and yet remain friends because the friendship is more important to me than intimacy. NEWSFLASH! Some can't do that and I'm either stupid or a genius! Either way there's something "unique" about my ability to do that. This is where that whole can't see the valley because of the trees in the wilderness comes in.
The reason I can't see what others see wrong with that whole scenario is because I'm in the wilderness searching for the valley. Searching for fair ground so that all of us will maintain the relationship we worked to not only put in place but to maintain. I love frolicking in the valley and living life. When I'm in the wilderness, I'm lost and it's desolate. My mind is going 1k miles an hour trying to figure out how to right a wrong that I already apologized for and didn't even understand what my role in it was/is. All for the sake of saving the relationship. Some times those relationships aren't the ones that need saving and that's ok. We must understand that everything has a season. Everything has an expiration date. Everything has a resurrection date too whether it's with you or without you. Everything will come full circle just as the universe has planned it to be. When you're in the wilderness, climb those trees you can't see past so that you're high enough to enjoy the beauty of the valley below.
With Love,
