To my younger self.

People come and go. Might sound harsh but that's the reality of life. Not everyone is meant to stay and that it is.

In life, you tend to meet certain people and you find yourself so attached to them that you tend to think they are the all in all. At times, you even feel that your life is worthwhile because they are there. Well, let me be plain to you, even without them your life keeps going. Yes, without them, nothing is stopping you, you'd keep moving. The only thing that would stop you is you and that would only happen if you refuse to accept the fact that they are gone and move on.

Friendship is a beautiful thing no doubt. That's a given I mean having someone you can talk to, someone you can joke around with, someone you can gossip with, someone you can feel safe with, someone you can literally tell anything that bothers you with ease. Wow, that must be a very beautiful thing, right? But mind you, the only person that can truly hurt you is the person that knows how to. The only person that can attach your weakness is the person that knows it's your weakness.

What am I saying in essence? Am I saying you shouldn't make friends? No. Am I saying you should stay alone? No. All I'm saying is Be careful. Be careful of who you call friends. Be careful of whom you tell your secrets and weaknesses to. Please and please be careful of the people you have around you. Humans are naturally deceitful and tend to lie a lot. Since we can't read human hearts it's best you watch out and try your possible to read human hearts so you wouldn't know if they are being truthful or not, it's best you are careful to avoid keeping an enemy as a supposed friend.

Also, not minding how sincere someone is to you. Not minding how good they treated you I want you to always remember that you were fine before they walked into your life, so you'd be fine if they get to walk out as well. Do not always expect them to stay. I'm not saying they have the right to abandon you. I'm just saying humans naturally evolve. And when they do feel like you are not part of their current level. They'd drop you off. I'm not saying you should overdo yourself to get up to your level I am saying that anyone that walked out of your life is not worthy to be there in the first place. So, pick up yourself, get your acts together and keep moving. Because, friendships are gained, friendships are lost but life keeps moving

It took me a while to understand that humans evolve and that you can’t always be friends with some people forever
Actually I learned it the hard way, now I really understand

I also learnt mine the hard way. That's why it's part of what I have today to my younger self if only it's possible.
