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.

A Reason, A Season, or A Lifetime. ..

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.

Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

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.

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

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 . ..

April 9, 1930

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

    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"). nine0004

    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.
