Anyone can walk into your life, but it is all about who stays. It is very easy for people to walk into and even out of your life. The people who stay, even when the times get tough, are the ones who are and always will be worth it. Anyone can stick around for all the good times, but never forget the ones who stuck around through your highest of highs and never once thought of leaving during your lowest of lows.
As we grow up we can see who our real friends always were and who never was.
People will walk in and out of your life like waves crashing on the shore. There will be people who will pull you under and you will lose yourself as if you are drowning-- those are not your friends. There will also be people who will pull you in and keep you around to have fun, but then come crashing down on you. The people you want to keep around are the ones who do not pull you in, but the ones that calmly approach you, who do not pull you under, and who do not only keep you around for the good times, but stay for everything in between as well.
The first test on friendship is college. As we go away to college we all start over and create a life for ourselves that we always wanted, but never could have in high school. We become the persons we always wanted to be-- a better version of ourself. In college you will always be making new friends along the way, but your friends from home will always have a special place in your heart. You may not always know when the next time you will see eachother again is, but that does not bother you because you know that a few months or even a year will have no burden on true friendship. Then, before you even know it you are home wrapped up in your friend's arms and everything is exactly how you left it before and those are the most beautiful friendships.
Sometimes it is not all about who you talk to everyday, but who you can not talk to for long periods of time and it does not matter because things will always go right back to where you left them off at. Remember who was always there for you when you truly needed them and who never was.
So, growing up does not always mean growing apart.
Everyone grows up at some point, life will start to move faster, you will become the person you were always meant to be, you will chase your dreams, you probably will get heart broken more than once but you will always just have to keep on keepin’ on.
When you look back at your life you do not want to be remember the bad times and the terrible people, so cut them off now and keep around the ones who were always meant to be.
Some people are meant to stay in pictures of the past and others are meant to be standing next to you telling the stories of your memories.
