Lifetime or Season?

A friend once told me that some people are here for a season and some people are here for life. It's hard to tell sometimes. But there are lots of things to look for:

1) Can you share your deepest secrets and trust that they will not exploit you or use it against you later in life?
2) If you need that person, really need them. Are they there for you?
3) Are they around you when you've got nothing but the shirt on your back to offer?
4) Can they sense if you're hurt and also try to comfort you?
5) Do they celebrate you or just tolerate you?

If the answers do not add up to an astounding Yes, to all, then you may have this person in your life for just a season. They are there to serve their purpose and then it's time for you to move on.
