Some people in life just get you better than others do. There are people in the world that just know how to make you laugh, take you on midnight car rides that make you forget about everything that stresses you out, and those who just understand. They know when you need advice and when you just need someone to listen to. But sometimes, you lose those friendships. And at the moment, it can feel like your world is crumbling. The people that know you best just aren't there anymore, and sometimes it's all of them all at once. But let me tell you: through all the pain and hardship that comes with losing close friends, there are good reasons behind it too.
It can hurt so bad, and I totally get it. Especially if you are someone who finds joy in being around others, it stinks. You sit and question what you did wrong and what you could've done better. And honestly, sometimes you are in the wrong. Sometimes you have to step back, say you are sorry and hope they forgive you. But when it's all said and done, if they don't, that's okay too. Not everyone is supposed to be in your life forever.
Don't overshadow the bad times and if they didn't treat you right (if that's the case), you deserve better than that too. People come in and out to teach you lessons and help you grow. Every once in a while, you have to be okay with letting people go too. You have to do what's best for you. If they are meant to be there, they will be, whether its now, a year or ten years from now.
I think one of the hardest things is having to be okay with letting people go, but remind yourself that you don't want people who don't want you. You are so worthy of a support system of individuals who love you so wholeheartedly. You are amazing in so many beautiful ways, and you should have people who see the light you bring into the world. Don't settle for any less than you deserve. Continue to be and work on your best self and the best people will show up in your life.
You wouldn't go through it if there wasn't a purpose. So for right now, find the things you love. Don't worry about other people. Look for what makes you happy, and the people you love will be by your side. And honestly, in life sometimes it takes losing people you loved and moving on to find the people who truly belong.
If they are meant to be in your life, they will be. Don't sweat the small stuff: God has a plan, and the people that really love you come back, I promise. And as corny as it sounds: if they don't, they weren't supposed to be there anymore anyways.
