As humans it's only natural for us to want others in our lives. We crave relationships and desire to be close to those around us. We long for romance and we're in constant search of friendship. In fact if we really look at how much of our lives we spend searching it's kind of insane. On the flip side we enter seasons of confusion, seasons of self growth and in the end seasons of purpose. It's interesting that sometimes in these seasons the main focus shouldn't be searching so much the world for those people and those relationships, rather searching our own hearts.

This takes a different type of coping, paired with an even greater understanding and matched with yet a greater perspective. In order to cope and heal from these unplanned mistakes we need to evaluate what was within our control and what was genuinely not. Often times when things go wrong we immediately blame and criticize ourselves because let’s be real, that is much easier than accepting the unknown and accepting the true lack of control we had over the situation. It is facing this fact though that allows for
