What's more treasured in life?...What people think of you or what YOU think of you? I use to struggle with that a lot until I reached the age of 16. With the help of my friends and my Nana, I realized that the people you're trying to impress aren't going to be around forever. Those people come and go in your life and why should you have to change for them. I finally understand what my Nana was saying. "Look out for number one because in the end, the people you're trying to impress aren't going to be there. If they can't accept you for who you are, are they worth it?" She's a smart woman and I love her with all my heart.
I've been going through a lot over the past few years and frankly, I am surprised that I'm still here. I'm very luck to have friends that care enough about me to SAVE me. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!...you know who you are.
I have also had an issue with trust. So many people in my younger years as well as these past few years have betrayed me in some way, making it very hard to trust people again. It's very hard for me to share my emotions because of this and again, I thank my friends for "non shalantly" forcing it out of me. I know it may seem like a pain to keep trying to force my problems out of me but I appreciate it. I guess I'm better with words via typing and not in person. lol
I'm thankful/grateful for all of my friends and I love you all equally, as hippy as that may sound. You all mean the same to me but in different ways. You help make me who I am and help keep me sane. If you're reading this, it's YOU I'm talking about. THANKS!
