Wicked Inspirtion

My family and I went to see wicked last weekend. It was wonderful of course, the music and scene's and everything were amazing, the singing was outstanding and the story was very touching. One song in particular hit home with me. It is called "For Good". It is between the wicked witch and Glinda, and honestly it is how I feel about a select few people in my life. One of those people being the other end of this break-up i'm going through. As a whole, I think everyone can find somebody that this song reminds them of. It's lyrics are so true and to me, very inspiring and healing. Here is just a section of the song, one that hits particularly hard for me :

"I've heard it said

That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you... "

That is just part of the first verse, an the song continues to go on that way. It becomes more and more obvious to me the older I get that every person that comes into your life has something valuable to offer. Wether they had a positive or negative effect on you at the time, something can be learned from everyone and every situation. I truly believe in soul mates, in more then just a romantic way, and I believe that if you can embrace everyone for what they give you, that your life will be enriched and made even more amazing because you will allow yourself to find them. I have a few people in my life that I do consider Soul Mates through and through. They have changed me more then I think they can even understand and mean everything to me. Even though I have lot contact with some or we're not as close as we were, they still have changed me. To steal more quotes from the song, they are with me " like a handprint on my heart". So, my point in writing all this is to hopefully inspire ( since that is what this blog is suppose to be about) you to think about those people, and to allow yourself to find something valuable in every interaction you have with people. I feel like we get caught up in the bad things, and put up walls because of those bad experiences instead of learning from them and finding the positive. With that, I think I better go and write this paper that I have been attempting to write all day.
