Maintaining a friendship is hard. I’ve been out of high school for two years,Β and I haven’t really made many new friends in college. Granted I have a really close friend here. π I’m not really frustrated with my lack of friends here to be honest, but I do get frustrated with how mean and manipulative people can be. I just like to be an honest and nice person (I give people the benefit of the doubt), but I’ve been hurt by that aspect of my personality. It’s hard to maintain a positive outlook on making new friends when so many of the people here are so self-righteous and conceited.
I guess I’m glad though because I know that my friends from home will always be there for me no matter what, and I’m glad because without them…how would I have had the courage to keep on going-and to persevere? I know that people need each other. I know that even if my friends are hours away I can count on them, and to me that is a huge relief. It’s amazing. I’m very thankful for the friends that I have, and I would never trade them for anything in the world. They are the best-in all honesty, and they’ve been dealing with my shortcomings, my insecurities, and my rashness for years. I truly appreciate that because I wouldn’t be the person that I am today without them.
On the other hand, there are broken friendships that will most likely never mend, and I am okay with that truly. If you weren’t a strong enough person to stick by me like I did for you, then you deserve to not be part of my life anymore. It might sound mean, but giving you a third chance would be rightfully stupid in my book. I’m okay with moving on with my friendships. Even though you are no longer my friend, I’ll treasure the memories we had together. The association and comradery that we had will be remembered because I had a good time. I won’t be an idiot to try to forget you like that because no matter how much I wish to deny it, you were a part of my life. You may have caused/stirred a change in me no matter how minuscule, and I appreciate it.
I’ve grown a lot over these past few years. I’ve learned to start fending for myself, and to look beyond the surface. I’ve made plenty of mistakes, but I’m still here holding strong. I’m still here, and I’ll be damned if I let anyone get me down anymore. I’ve had enough of my wallowing. I’ve had enough of my insecurities.
*Yeah so that broken friendship paragraph Β is more worded towards the person that I had a falling out with. I got a little rant-y in there haha but that’s why this is a personal blog. Anyway hope everyone has a lovely weekend.*

No matter how long you try to hold on to something, sometimes it’s just best to let it go. Just let it go and move on because there are better and greater things waiting for you in the world.
