About People and Trees

I learned something this week. After I had run into the wrong person again, I was wondering why this is always happening to me. I tried to find a pattern but failed. Then I stumbled over a short video on my YouTube feed and to my own amazement it really was helpful. It explained: some people are like leafs, they come for a season, take what they need and then disappear again, then there are branch people, they stay longer than the leaf people, you can stick with them for a while but eventually, with the next big storm they will fall away. And then there are the root people. They are the ones who stay with you, no matter what, they make you strong and you can hold onto them no matter how strong the storm. I have my root people, since 25 years. They live in the house right beside me. I can lean on them no matter what and the other way around. So, what do I care about the leaf person that tumbles away in the spring breeze.
