Poem reason season
How These Relationships Can Support You
Some say that people enter our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Here’s what they mean.
Friendship comes in many forms. While some people come and go quickly from your life, others stick around until you grow old.
The main idea behind the phrase “reason, season, lifetime” is that all relationships, regardless of their length, have some sort of purpose. They might bring you:
- Reason. This is when a short-lived relationship brings you a benefit or helps you with a realization. It helps you with a specific difficulty you’re facing, either intentionally or unintentionally.
- Season. This is when a relationship accompanies you through a certain period of your life. It lasts for some time and brings you joy and growth. You might learn a lot from the relationship, but it eventually ends.
- Lifetime. This is when a relationship lasts a lifetime.
Even if they don’t last for long, many forms of human connection can boost your mental health and well-being.
“People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.”
This is an opening line of a poem by Brian A. “Drew” Chalker. Since the poem became popular, the “reason, season, and lifetime” concept has been shared by many.
Research — including a 2021 review — shows us that friendships are important to our mental and physical health. And as a 2018 study shows, friendships can improve your quality of life and life satisfaction.
Although the poem is specifically about friendships, you might find it helpful to think of all relationships in this light.
Short-lived relationships can still be beneficial. Even a short interaction with a stranger can impact your life in meaningful ways.
Here are some examples of reason relationships:
- A stranger you met in the park told you about their recent trip overseas. This conversation inspired you to look into moving abroad — and now you live in a different country thanks to them.
- In grade school, a substitute teacher taught you for a day.
He complimented you on your art and encouraged you to keep drawing. You eventually went on to become a designer.
- You dated someone for 3 months. It eventually became toxic and you ended it. Although it hurt, the relationship taught you to stand up for yourself.
- You had a friend-with-benefits for a few weeks before it ended. You don’t talk anymore, but they helped you feel more confident about your body.
A season relationship lasts longer, but it eventually ends — whether amicably or not so amicably.
Here are some examples of season relationships:
- A friend you made in college helped you come out of your shell and adjust to living away from home. Although you’re no longer in contact, they made a positive impact on your self-confidence.
- You were married for several years before divorcing. Although you and your ex outgrew one another, you also positively influenced each other’s lives.
- Your first boss taught you a lot about your trade.
Although you now work elsewhere, their lessons set the foundation for the career you have today.
When grieving a friendship — especially when you expected it to last forever — you might find it comforting to think about these positive aspects.
A long-term relationship — one that lasts a lifetime — can bring you joy, aid your growth, and teach you more about yourself and the world around you.
Whether the relationship is with a family member, a childhood friend, or a friend you’ve made as an adult, lifetime friends see you go through different stages of your life and support you through it all — and vice versa.
There are many benefits of friendships. Positive, healthy friendships can help you feel less stressed and lonely, and they can be a source of personal growth. However, it’s important to be willing to let go of a toxic friendship, even if you thought they’d be a “lifetime” friend.
Some say that everybody who enters your life does so for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. No matter how long a friendship lasts, it can bring you something positive — even if it’s just a lesson in how to spot red flags.
Even when a relationship ends badly, you might find it helpful to consider the positive memories and lessons the relationship brought you. Although these positive aspects don’t necessarily erase hurt and pain, it might be comforting to remember the good while accepting the bad.

Yes, you are a poet of genius!” The application of such a grandiose and undeserved epithet to me made me happy. I've gone into poetry. That evening, quite unexpectedly, I became a poet. Already in the morning, Burliuk, introducing me to someone, bassed: “Don’t you know? My brilliant friend. The famous poet Mayakovsky. I push. But Burliuk is adamant. He also growled at me, moving away: “Now write. And then you put me in the stupidest position "" (autobiography "I myself"). nine0004

The almanac "A Slap in the Face of Public Taste" was published with a collective manifesto and Mayakovsky's poems. The release of the collection caused sharply negative reviews in a number of newspapers and magazines. Against the backdrop of continuous abuse, V. Bryusov’s review was an exception: “We are even less satisfied with such methods of finding a new rhyme ... as suggested by V. Mayakovsky ... However, beyond these extremes, something remains that is not without its value as a new method of expressiveness in poetry” (“ Russian Thought). nine0004
May 1913

There were deafening whistles, cries of "down with". Mayakovsky was unshakable, continuing in the indicated style. Finally he decided that his mission was over and left” (“Moskovskaya Gazeta”). “The gentlemen at the tables were numb. They are accustomed to being flattered and humiliated in front of them for the money they spend in places of entertainment, they, the "chosen public" with a "subtle" taste, and suddenly they are told from the stage: "You are all on the butterfly of a poetic heart / pile up, dirty, in galoshes and without galoshes. It is difficult to describe the scandal that erupted in the "Pink Lantern"" (Lev Nikulin). nine0004

While he was in the south, the founder of Futurism, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, visited St. Petersburg and Moscow; Russian futurists decided "to give [him] a resolute rebuff: not only did we not consider ourselves an offshoot of Western futurism, but not without reason we believed that we were in many ways ahead of our Italian brethren" (Benedict Livshits).
February 1914 nine0003 Mayakovsky and David Burliuk are expelled from the School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture for scandalous speeches at literary disputes. Messages about this were published in many Moscow and provincial newspapers under the headings "Repressions against the futurists", "Bad grass out of the field", "The finale of futuristic speeches".

Lenin reacted negatively to this poem: “Nonsense, stupid, terry stupidity and pretentiousness” (note to Lunacharsky on May 6, 1921). Orally, Lenin called such literature "hooligan communism."

March 1922
The governmental newspaper Izvestia publishes the poem "Prosadyaschie". Lenin declares at the All-Russian Congress of Metal Workers that, although he does not belong to Mayakovsky’s admirers, “I haven’t experienced such pleasure from the political and administrative point of view for a long time” as when reading the poet’s new satirical poem.

January 1923
Mayakovsky attempted to create a platform for futuristic aesthetics - the magazine "Lef" ("Left Front of the Arts"). The journal was administered by the State Publishing House, but Mayakovsky himself became the editor-in-chief.

Left!” And below, a thousand-voiced roar: “Left!” ”- the newspaper Pravda. )
October 1923
Mayakovsky began composing advertisements for Mosselprom. Advertising texts and slogans of Mayakovsky were used by Mosselprom very widely - on posters, in advertisements, on signs of kiosks and shops, on biscuit wrappers, candy labels, etc. The couplet "Nowhere but / as in Mosselprom" became the general advertising slogan of Mosselprom. "Economic propaganda" Mayakovsky caused a lot of negative reviews. He himself wrote in his autobiography: “Despite the poetic hooting, I consider “Nowhere but in Mosselprom” poetry of the highest qualification.” nine0004
January 1924
Mayakovsky receives a certificate from the Counter-Agency that his books "in the provinces of published poetry are perhaps the most widely distributed."

The success of the poem was incredible. According to the memoirs of Natalya Lunacharskaya-Rozenel, after reading the poem in Lunacharsky’s apartment, “suddenly from above, from the gallery, there were thunderous applause and exclamations:“ Thank you! Thank you, Vladimir Vladimirovich!'” It turned out that theater youth had gathered in the mezzanine room. “This intrusion of uninvited listeners, so direct and sincere, made the best impression on everyone, especially on Mayakovsky. He went up the stairs to the gallery and dragged the “hares” down by the hands.” nine0004
August 1925
Mayakovsky's first performance in New York at the crowded Central Opera House. “Finally, Mayakovsky himself appeared on the stage. Strong, big, healthy. It's hard to describe what happened in public.

Mayakovsky read the poem "Good!" at the editorial meeting of the magazine "New Lef". The reading was attended by Lunacharsky, who, according to Katanyan's memoirs, said of the poem: "This is the October Revolution, cast in bronze."
1927-1928
The relations of the Lefites are becoming more and more conflicted. The magazine is attacked by the editor-in-chief of Novy Mir, Vyacheslav Polonsky, an ardent opponent of literary groups. He reproached the Lefites for servility and excessive "Sovietness". As a result, Boris Pasternak leaves Lef, hoping for a speedy departure of Mayakovsky, whose "natural talent" "should blow up those layers of chemically pure nonsense, nonsense similar to a dream, with which he voluntarily dragged on and dragged on unrecognizably in this decade", Exit Eisenstein and Shklovsky. nine0004
September 26, 1928
Mayakovsky announces his resignation from the magazine in his report "To the Left of Lef". Subsequently, Mayakovsky was asked why he “traded” “Lef” for “Komsomolskaya Pravda” (focused on “newspaper” poems “for a chance”). Mayakovsky replied that “a daily newspaper with millions of readers” was “much more interesting to him than a monthly magazine with several thousand subscribers,” however, many of the Lefovites assumed that Mayakovsky’s departure was due to personal reasons, in particular, the conflict between Lily Brik and Shklovsky. nine0004
Spring 1929
Mayakovsky creates the Ref group (Revolutionary Front of the Arts). In the outline of the preface to the new almanac, the poet wrote: “Is the change from L to R enough to talk about novelty? Yes, it is enough... Now there is not enough naked leftism. Leftism, ingenuity is obligatory for us, but of all leftism we take only that which is revolutionary, that which actively helps the construction of socialism ... ”However, unlike Lef, Ref did not play any literary and political role; the planned almanac never came out. nine0004
September 1929
Triumphant, according to the memoirs of contemporaries, the reading of "The Bath" at a meeting of the artistic and political council of the Theater. Meyerhold. Zoshchenko recalled this reading: “Actors and writers laughed and applauded the poet. Every phrase was accepted absolutely. I have rarely seen such a positive reaction.” However, when the performance premiered six months later, it was not warmly received by the public. In Nasha Gazeta, the performance was called a "failure", and in Komsomolskaya Pravda it was said that "Mayakovsky's production turned out really bad this time, and it's amazing how it happened that the Theater. Meyerhold was flattered by these products.” nine0004
Since the end of 1929
The exhibition "Mayakovsky in Twenty Years" is being prepared, where all the literary works of the poet, materials on his artistic and lecture activities, layouts of his plays, photographic materials, a map of trips around the USSR, Europe and America were presented.

February 6, 1930
Mayakovsky joins the RAPP, the Russian Association of Proletarian Writers. He explained his decision by his desire to switch to more mass work and called on all Refovites to take the same step. External pressure was acutely felt - the RAPP was declared the only "official" tool of the party in the field of literature. But being accepted into the RAPP, Mayakovsky did not become one of his own there. One of the Rappovites, Alexander Fadeev, said in a newspaper interview that Mayakovsky's entry into the RAPP does not mean that he will be accepted with all his "theoretical baggage": "We will accept him to the extent that he refuses this baggage . .. "As a result, none of the" Rappov "projects" conceived by Mayakovsky was implemented. nine0004
April 9, 1930
A conversation with the audience during a speech to students of the Institute of National Economy turned into a dispute about the incomprehensibility of Mayakovsky's poems. According to contemporaries, Mayakovsky was bombarded with such remarks: “Does this have anything to do with the revolution? Everything is written about yourself. All this is not clear”; "Workers do not understand Mayakovsky because of Mayakovsky's way of breaking lines"; “Let Mayakovsky prove that in 20 years they will read him” and so on. On the same days, on the occasion of the anniversary of Mayakovsky’s creative and social work, the journal Print and Revolution decided to publish a greeting in which Mayakovsky was referred to as a “great revolutionary poet,” but the greeting was removed from the already finished copies of the magazine by decision of the leadership of the State Publishing House. nine0004

May — June 1930 years old
Roman Yakobson's article "About the generation that squandered its poets" is published - the first serious attempt to analyze the poetic world of Mayakovsky. Reflecting on the poet's suicide, Yakobson comes to the conclusion that death is closely intertwined with Mayakovsky's poetry, and furiously attacks those who did not understand the reasons for his suicide.

Why do people turn on the TV in the evenings and sit down to watch serials? An interesting story, a famously twisted plot, good actors .
.. All this - and something else - is in the serial film "Shards. New Season", which is being shown on the channel "Russia 1". We tell you why you should definitely watch the premiere on April 12 at 21:00.
On Monday the new season of "Oskolkov" starts on the TV channel "Russia 1". The first part of the series was very popular with our viewers, and there is no reason to believe that the sequel will be inferior to the original. We found at least seven reasons why the sequel to the multi-episode drama is not to be missed. Watch April 12 at 21:00, and from April 13 to 15 at 21:20. nine0004
1. We've been waiting for it
Why do we love sequels? Any movie, and especially a melodrama - and "Shards" is no exception here - does not put a dot at the end, but an ellipsis. And if the film is hooked, you always want to know what happened to the characters after the final credits, how their fate developed further ... The new series of "Shards" will provide us with such an opportunity.
In the first season, we were struck by the beginning of the story - girls mixed up in the maternity hospital and a whole chain of events that followed the clarification of this fact and the parents' attempts to "exchange" children. For 16 episodes, the densely populated world of "Shards" loved, was jealous, converged and divorced, plotted, took revenge and was mean, and only at the very end two families gathered and calmly and sensibly discussed the situation and the near future. Happy end? No matter how! ..
2. We missed them
Why else do we love sequels? For meeting with the characters who have already become close to us, interesting and, it seems, even understandable. Here it is Anna and Oleg Prokopiev, Maria Prokofieva and their "common" daughters - Sasha and Varya. But the authors of the series urge not to deceive ourselves: in the new series - and in new circumstances - familiar characters will reveal themselves from unexpected sides and present us with many surprises.
Here, for example, is what Natalia Antonova, who played her, says about her restrained and flawless "iron lady" Anna: "There are so many things mixed in her. She is a real woman: naive, sensual, and sometimes frivolous. A woman who desperately fights for my love". nine0004
3. Continuation of the story - cooler than the beginning
The girls have grown up, but they feel unhappy in their real families. Anna brought from America an intriguing mother and little son Antosha; as she expected, his appearance brought discord in Oleg's relationship with Maria. Instead of becoming one big family, the characters become deeper and deeper into their secrets and move away from each other. Until a strong and merciless enemy appears on their way, capable of breaking their already fragile world ...
"Something new is constantly happening in the series, and it's very interesting to watch it! It really has everything that the Russian audience loves - passion, drama, love, hate, and betrayal," director Vladimir promises Nakhabtsev.
"Growing up girls will begin a new life. The lines of adult relationships will develop. And there will definitely be new love stories," actress Tatyana Cherkasova concretizes. "The series is about human destinies: how we can destroy, then create, destroy again and create again ... And only at the end of the journey do we understand what we have done. The heroes of our series, having understood this, are trying to fix everything somehow, to connect it. The audience will see how they do it." nine0004
4. The same and... Larisa Udovichenko
Together with their heroes, wonderful actors will return to our screens. In addition to Antonova and Cherkasova (Maria), these are Alexander Dyachenko (Oleg), Valeria Burduzha (Sasha) and Anna Dulova (Varya), as well as Valery Kukhareshin as Oleg's father, Boris Khvoshnyansky as his lawyer Eldar and some others. And, of course, new stories will not do without new characters. So, Oleg learns that he has an adult son Maxim - he was played by Ivan Zhvakin ("At the Far Outpost").

But, of course, the main pearl among the "newcomers" was the People's Artist of Russia Larisa Udovichenko and her Elena Romanovna - Anna's mother. They say about her that she can eat out the brain with a small spoon, and they call her a "fox". The actress confirms that it is her heroine who is mainly responsible for the intrigues in the new series, and intrigues herself: “She is so insidious! Or maybe not insidious. A lady of her own mind, not devoid of emotions, passions. instead of lying to yourself." nine0004
5. Everything is very confusing. Just like in real life
The intricacies of dramatic lines, the intensity of passions, seemingly unrealistic situations... It seems that the screenwriters have outdone themselves by inventing incredible turns of action and artificially complicating the plot? But after all, even its plot - children mixed up in the hospital - is based on real events: reality sometimes surpasses even the most violent fantasy of playwrights.
"The reason for the popularity of our project is that the scenario ... is replete with collisions that resonate with people, and the stories are similar to what happens in their lives," Alexander Dyachenko confirms this idea. nine0004
It is hoped that, given this, the authors of the "New Season" have retained the aesthetics of the first: the non-vanity of what is happening on the screen, which makes it possible to peer, listen and appreciate the thoroughness with which the characters are drawn. This adult movie without unnecessary "cinema" really looks like real life, which is sometimes just so bizarre and intricate. And - as in life - there are no hopelessly bad and immaculately good people in it: everyone makes mistakes, tries to correct them and become happy. nine0004
6. Romance by Polina Gagarina
The soundtrack of the series includes a romance to the verses by Mikhail Gutseriev and music by Vadim Uslanov "You Don't Kiss" performed by Polina Gagarina.
"Songs like 'You don't kiss' are out of time and out of fashion. They will always be in demand because they hit right in the heart," the singer shares her impressions of the composition.
7. Unexpected denouement
All as one, the filmmakers fall silent and only smile enigmatically when it comes to the finale of the new season. “My heroine and I deceive the viewer until the very end. And why she behaved like this and behaved like that for all 16 episodes, it will become clear only at the very end,” Larisa Udovichenko continues to intrigue. “Life must thank Anna with a gift, but we’ll find out what the secret is in the last episode,” Natalia Antonova pumps up suspense. nine0004
And from "official sources" only one thing is known: "in order to counter the emerging common threat, disunited families need to unite and piece together their ruined lives." Can they? Broken vessels of human destinies can be glued together, but will the result stand the test of strength? Especially if the fragments from different vessels have had time to mix up and do not always fit tightly to each other.
