Never regret those who have left you

Never regret those who have left you. They are phantom people in your fate, appearing real for a brief moment. In essence, they never were, at least not for you. They are random encounters that taught you something: how to smile through tears, how to forgive the nearly unforgivable, and how to be a hundred times stronger. Mentally thank them for the experience they generously shared with you, without even realizing it. Now you know that a mirage, however beautiful it may be, is only an illusion. Now you can distinguish the true from what merely appears to be.
