Temporary People, Temporary Happiness

“Sometimes you just have to accept the fact that some people only enter your life as a temporary happiness ” -Unknown

As a young adult I have had many people come in and out of my life; the majority of these people are not in my life today. However, these temporary people made some of the greatest impacts on my life. For example, I used to have a best friend who I thought was going to be in my life forever. She brought so much happiness to my life; she even let me move into her house when I moved out of my parents house. She was my rock, my best friend and my sister. She was there for me when my entire family shut me out. I never expected our friendship to come to an abrupt stop, but then I changed and she didn’t. I made other friends and stopped including her in my plans. She was extremely hurt by this and she had every right to be. We slowly started to talk less and less everyday until we got to the point of not speaking at all. It was apparent that we were no longer friends. This was an utterly painful time in my life. Even though our friendship ended on a poor note, I could never forget the countless memories we had together. This leads me to the moral of this article; it is okay to have temporary people in your life and it is even more okay to love the temporary happiness that they give you. Just because something or someone does not last in your life forever will never mean that it was not worth it. In my example, I would not have spent my childhood with anyone else. Every memory we made together was worth it to me. Every ounce of happiness she brought to my life was worth it to me. My friend is no longer in my life and that is okay because our friendship was not meant to last forever. God puts those people in our lives because at that moment we need those people. I needed my friend to be my family and she took me in with open arms. She brought happiness to my life when I was at my lowest point and that is why God put her in my life, for a temporary happiness, and I have no other option but to accept that.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
