Reason, Season, or A Lifetime: What Every Relationship Teaches Us About Growth and Gratitude
I came cross this poem titled Reason, Season, or A Lifetime by Brian A. “Drew” Chalker during the most challenging time of my life. Back then, I heard only the ache of endings. Now, I see the poem as a love letter to impermanence—and a reminder that every person who crosses our path leaves us with a gift, even if it takes years to unwrap. In this article, I broke down each category–reason relationship, season relationship, and lifetime relationship, weave in my messy (and hopeful) stories, and explore how to find gratitude in all of them.
