Your rearview mirror

People didn’t GET a chance to know you. It would have been their privilege. They didn’t take a chance, a risk, a moment, and ask. These people were like the seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and of course the Winter. They came and went. But you were still you.

When the Winter arrived, you were already prepared for it. You had done the work. You had done the work on you. You were ready for the changes, the challenge, and the words.

It was no matter. You knew about you, and their words told you about them.

The rearview mirror was your friend for about 37 seconds. You used it for what it is there for: To remind you what is in your past.

At some point, you considered consideration. But you had done the work and knew THIS consideration was inconsiderate…..to you, your world, and your future.

You weren’t selfish,

You weren’t a jerk,

You didn’t even speak.

You just understood why mirrors exist: To see you, not “them.”

"They" did you a favor,

Keep moving,

Keep loving,

Keep being.
