Allowing toxic people back into your life is never a good thing. Everyone has someone they had to remove from their lives, yet allowed them to come back. Every single person has done this, maybe even multiple times. I recently allowed a ghost back into my life, someone I have history with, someone who is toxic. Why? I’m not sure. However, it taught me a lesson. It allowed me a split moment of happiness; a shooting star that came into the dark night sky. The thing about shooting stars though, is that they don’t last. They’re beautiful and wonderful, but only for a moment. They distract you from all the other beauty in the sky and as soon as they’re gone, you are left looking for more. You’re so distracted by this shooting star that’s already gone that you’re looking for another and you’re missing out on looking at all the other beauty in the night sky: the stars, the moon, the planets. A shooting star is not permanent, just like some people in your life are not permanent. That’s okay, they were wonderful. But that shooting star is gone, it never wanted to stay. Just like the ghost I let back into my life.
People always have this problem, women especially, allowing undeserving people back into our lives. We then let that person to have an effect on us and our emotions. The person was out of your life for a reason, they were no good to you. They brought you grief and pain. Anyone can, and will, bring you unhappiness at times. The people that are constantly bringing you pain though, those are the people who can’t be in your life anymore. They were a ghost for a reason, you need to leave them there.
It’s hard, it’s hard when you have a history with someone to say goodbye for good. Those people once may have held a strong place and influence in your life. But no one is going to look after you, you have to look after and take care of yourself. This means you have to stop looking for shooting stars. They’re beautiful and wonderful, yet only temporary. Once they are gone, they are gone. If someone wanted you in their lives, they would make it happen. Everyone must understand this vital fact. It’s hard to come to grips with, it’s hard when it’s not the answer you want to hear. However, that shooting star is not coming back. You have to stop looking for it. Once it’s gone, look at all the other wonders you have in the sky: the moon, the stars, and planets. Those my dear, are permanent. And they will bring you all sorts of wonder, beauty, imagination, and happiness, each and every night.
