people come and go

Relationships are temporary.
People change. Some stay, some leave.

But as the saying goes, “No man is an island.”
We are not meant to be alone.

It’s hard to depend on others.
There’s always a quiet anxiety: after years of connection, what if one day they’re gone?
When that happens, you’re left questioning. The whys and hows.

You wander, searching for belonging again. And because you’re searching, you’ll find it. A person, a group, a new center of gravity.
You invest, your world revolves around them. Disappointments will come. Some things that were tolerable might become intolerable. Sometimes, someone leaves. And the cycle repeats.

It can feel exhausting.

But this is not proof that relationships are doomed. It’s proof that connection is risky and necessary.
Take care of yourself. Learn to be whole on your own.
Because people will come and go, but your stability doesn’t have to.
