The Hardest lesson....
I was thinking today... I think one of the hardest things about growing older is being let down by people you thought you could always count on.... Making new friends at each part of your life and letting yourself believe that you and those people will always be friends... and that they'll never do anything to disappoint you... Then you're brought back to reality when you realize that some of your friends can't be counted on, can't be trusted, and don't value the friendship the way you do.... Or that they make stupid choices, lose the ambition that made them such a wonderful friend to begin with, or just become blinded by other things..... I think that is one of the hardest lessons of life.
