Ever run into people from your past?

Well, I’ve been doing so, so often lately that I start wondering. Not surprisingly, knowing my spiritual inclinations and search for meaning. For me, synchronicities are usually fun ways of showing us we’re on track or highlight something important that needs attention.

I used to think running into people was a sign to reconnect. Then as I’ve tried this I realized my theory may be slightly flawed. Sometimes, you are meant to reconnect, if you've grown in the same direction. But very often, if we've moved on, it's for a good reason! Especially because as time goes by, we trust ourselves more, are truer to ourselves and realize we want deeper relationships, more commonalities or whatever choice we’ve wanted for our present and we no longer resonate with some people from our past. Not that there's anything wrong with them, they just no longer fit, we've outgrown them. They simply no longer fit as characters in the story of our lives. It may be slightly sad to see them gone or going. However, this only allows more space for better characters to come or for the deeper development of those already there. 

Sometimes we run into people just to show ourselves how far we've come!
