You’re going to meet people who will change your life forever. Some will be with you for years, a few for a lifetime, and many for what feels like just a brief moment.
But everyone you meet changes you in some way. They leave their mark, whether they’re in your life for a flash or for the long haul. Each connection shapes who you are and influences who you will become.
They’re all part of your journey. And then, there are the rarest of all—the ones who stand by your side, no matter what you’re going through.
The ups.
The downs.
Everything in between.
These are the people who show up time and time again. They don’t waver when life gets messy or complicated. And because they keep showing up, those relationships deepen and grow in ways that you can’t always predict but can always appreciate.
What’s truly powerful in relationships is letting go of the idea that you fully “know” someone. People are constantly evolving, just like you are. When you approach relationships with curiosity and openness, you give yourself the chance to keep discovering new aspects of those you care about.
Even if you’ve spent years with someone, you still don’t know all of their thoughts, dreams, or fears. There are countless stories, emotions, and experiences beneath the surface.
I’ve always seen people as icebergs—what you see is just the surface. Beneath the water lies so much more. That depth can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. We’re all a mix of light and shadow. Embracing that complexity doesn’t make us flawed; it makes us beautifully human.
Stay open to the “more.”
Continue to nurture the relationships that matter most, and watch how they flourish and grow in ways that surprise you. The deeper you go, the richer those connections become.
It’s a beautiful thing to witness and experience.
