Reason, Season and Lifetime

Who are these people in your life?

What is reason?
The person was planted in your life to help you thru a phase and will have a deep impression because you share a period of your life with...
But when the person leaves, you don’t have to feel sad but have to accept because the purpose is done. After which the person has no "reason" to be in your life. It could be like project member, colleague, bosses or staffs.
People come and go for a reason.

Then what is season?
Season is like a good month.. It comes every year.
Like friends you party with, have fun with and spend time with.
Season comes and go……, there’s no need to miss, but will return.

What is lifetime?
Lifetime is like hmmm... maybe your buddy, your family, sometimes soul mates. You know, a person could be a "reason" who stayed on. Like you could have a friend...who was in your life to teach you something but you form a relationship...that you continually keep in touch down the years...
It means that lifetime is the little group of people who are left behind in your life; in your circle.

Do you have control over who to be reason, season and lifetime? Could people do that?
Maybe but it’s very tough…
So once we know that, it’s easier to accept. This thing is about understanding... Once you understand.., you will know and will accept.

Which one has more impact?
Lifetime, of course.

How does one know which is which? Only when they leave?
Yah, only when they leave. It’s kinda sad right? You will only realize when they leave.

But initially, you would treat them (new friends) like a season or reason or lifetime? What is your attitude towards them?
Hmmm…..maybe just friends. Then when you are done with them, you will categorize them. It’s for your own understanding.

But can you decide, at the beginning, who to be what since you can identify them - characters and personality; likes and dislikes?
Maybe cannot because you aren’t sure until they leave then you can see where they belong.

But you will know when you get to know them more along the way?
But how would you know it’s a lifetime until it’s a lifetime?
Then of course lifetime is hard to tell, season and reasons too.

So the easiest one to identify is season?
A staff could be reason. But if she ends up as a friend who don’t meet often; like a season or so in a year, then she becomes a season.

Does everyone start as a reason first?
Could be. Some will develop into lifetime.
