Humans of SD – Cora Averweg

“One of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn is that not all the people that come into your life are meant to be there forever, but they all do have a purpose. As much as it sucks, some people are temporary and they only come into your life to teach you a lesson, whether that be good or bad. Coming to terms with this is still something I struggle with and honestly think I always will because sometimes those people that you wish would be there forever just won’t be. Like I said, some people you meet are just there to teach you a lesson. Some people teach you how to love or be loved and others may teach you how to stand up for yourself and realize you deserve better while other may teach you how to love the little things about life. I think the best way to look at it is to be thankful for the lessons you’re taught instead of being sad those people aren’t around anymore. So yes, people come and go but the impressions they leave stay forever.”
