“THE PEOPLE WHO FALL AWAY”
Some people enter your life like solid rocket boosters brilliant, forceful, full of the energy you need to rise.
Others arrive like the external tank quiet, steady, carrying the fuel that will push you beyond the gravity of who you once were.
They lift you.
They steady you.
They teach you.
They help you reach an altitude you could not imagine alone.
But ascent has a cost.
Because the higher you rise, the clearer you see the truth:
not everyone is built for orbit.
Some are engineered only for the launch.
And though your heart may ache for them to stay to share the silence of the stars, to witness who you are becoming their purpose completes long before your journey does.
They fall away not because they failed you,
but because the universe never designed them to follow you into the places you are now meant to explore.
Growth often begins in that quiet moment when you look back at what has fallen away…
and finally understand that their leaving was part of your rising.
Some people were never meant to stay.
They were meant to help you lift off.
A Reflection from the SIMU Collection.
