You may be asking yourself what exactly does “all the constants in life” mean? Well, constant can be defined as never changing; persistent; regularly recurrent. I’ve come to realize that not many things are constant in life, especially people, which brings an uneasy feeling to most, but it is super true. A constant can essentially be described as your person or best friend. The one you can always count on no matter what the scenario, and for those who are lucky enough out there you may even have more than one constant in your life.
Think about it. Most things in life are not forever. People move away, people change; people leave, but the people who stay are the most important people. I can imagine many of us have experienced losing a good friend who said they would always be there for us. And, because of the loss of such a close friend, it becomes difficult to come to terms with who the real people in your life are.
You begin to overthink. You wonder if eventually everyone who you thought had your back will instantly turn against you. Everyone overthinks some things and we all simply can’t help it, but don’t overthink, I know I know it is much easier said than done. But, you’ll get a good vibe when you know that someone will be always be there for you, and just keep that good vibe and energy in the back of your head. This isn’t telling you not be friends with the people who won’t always be there, but at the end of the day you just have to be aware of who would drop everything for you and who wouldn’t. So, to all the constants in life, thank you.
After a year of college under my belt and meeting so many different kinds of people, now I know and highly value the meaning of a solid friendship. I have met lots of new people in that past year who have been able to count on me just as I was able to count on them. And, I haven’t forgotten about the friends at home who have never left my side. Looking at friendships from a few different ways is always a smart idea because you can figure out who all your friends really are.
In the end, as I’m growing up and learning all new things, one of the most greatest things I’ve learned is that its becomes less important to have lots of friends, and more important to have a couple of real ones.
