Every encounter in life serves a purpose. Some challenge us, others teach us valuable lessons and a few may try to take advantage of us. It is important to embrace these experiences, as they can help us grow and gain a deeper understanding of life. By focusing on the present, we can enlighten ourselves and work towards self-improvement.

I used to struggle with this philosophy. I often came across people who seemed to undermine me for their own benefit, leaving me confused about their role in my life. However, everything changed when I met someone who had a profound impact on me. Despite my initial doubts about their importance, I decided to let them stay in my life. I learned more from them in a short period of time than from others over many years. While they may have had selfish intentions, they unintentionally taught me valuable lessons.

Despite my dedication to personal growth and skill enhancement, I have felt uninspired and easily discouraged, especially when it comes to my son's well-being. I have considered moving to a city with more opportunities to secure a stable job or internship, as I recently graduated in Digital Marketing and enrolled in a Scriptwriting Masterclass. I am eager to use my skills, which seems challenging in my current town due to limited opportunities.

The decision to move is difficult, especially with my family's concerns about urban dangers and being away from my son. They prefer to stay content with our current situation, but I am looking for transformative change for both myself and my family. I believe in taking proactive steps for change, as without action, nothing will improve.

The person I met taught me the importance of pursuing dreams despite obstacles and not sacrificing my own aspirations for my son. He is the reason I strive for success, aiming to support his future university education. This person's presence in my life has been eye-opening, showing me that not all connections are meant to last. They may bring romantic feelings, but it doesn't always lead to a lifelong bond; it reminds us to prioritize our happiness and growth.

Meeting this person felt like finding a missing piece, but I see them as both a blessing and a lesson. While I may have deep feelings for them, I understand that pursuing a relationship is not necessary. If it is meant to be, it will happen naturally. Most importantly, they taught me that investments, whether emotional or professional, should lead to growth, not depletion. When something begins to drain us rather than enrich us, it is time to let go, just as we would with people and careers.
