The Art of the U-Turn
"Turning around is meeting a better version of yourself." "Some people leave you not because you are not good enough, but simply because you are not suited to be together in the end." Faced with separation, we often fall into a quagmire of self-doubt, constantly asking ourselves, "Did I do something wrong?" or "If only... would things be different?" However, many times, separation isn't about who is right or wrong; it is simply two paths briefly intersecting before heading toward different destinations. Instead of wasting energy dwelling on the past, use that energy to heal yourself in the present.

Some things may cause pain, but time will allow you to gain the perspective needed to face past setbacks with a smile.
