🌀 When People Leave: Trust the Tide of Time
By Rupesh Ranjan

Life, in its infinite wisdom, has a strange way of teaching us lessons—quietly, subtly, sometimes painfully. One such lesson that returns again and again is this: every relationship has an expiry date. It may not come with a loud goodbye or a dramatic closure. Sometimes, people just fade away. Sometimes, they walk out. And sometimes, life simply takes them down a different road.

From my own experience, I want to say this to you with certainty: there’s no need to panic.
When someone starts to drift away from your life, don’t run after them. Don’t beg. Don’t cling.
Because what is meant to go—will go.

Many of us make the mistake of trying to hold on to what is slipping away. We raise our voices, we blame, we misbehave. But in the end, all we do is add bitterness to what could have ended with grace.

The truth is, life flows like a river, and relationships are like the boats that come and go. Some stay for a season. Some for a reason. But very few stay forever.

You must learn to flow with the current.
When one person leaves, another will too. That’s the rhythm of time. That’s the impermanence of human bonds.

So instead of reacting with anger or sorrow, do the harder thing:
Wait. Watch. Trust.

Because the tide always changes.
The same way the sun returns after the darkest night, new people, new energies, and new meanings will enter your life. But they will only do so if your heart is open and not full of grudges.

Yes, it hurts when people leave. Yes, it feels personal. But most of the time, it’s not about you.
It’s about the journey they’re on.
And yours, too.

So don’t misbehave with life. Don’t curse its timing.
Stand still. Stay calm.
And let the tide of time carry you gently forward.
