To the Girl Who is Afraid,
I know you are scared. You have every reason to be. Relationships fail, friendships fail, but that is life. It is sometimes crazy to think about everything someone could be afraid of. From being afraid of making friends to falling in love to the small things like heights, it is all a part of life. It will get better I promise. I hope you realize that you are worth it all though.
Being heartbroken is unbearably hard at times and falling for someone else again is scary. You become afraid and do not want to fall for another person because of the hurt from your past. This is the present, you have a future and only you can determine the good in your life. Yes, times may get hard when you fall for that one person and are afraid to love again. There is someone out there for you and it may not be the time yet. When that time does come you will be happier than ever and will have then learned why nothing ever worked out in the past.
Is letting people in your life just as hard as loving someone? I know you have been hurt, taken advantage of and led on. You build up walls so no one can get in. They grow taller and taller each time someone lets you down and you do not know when you will ever let go of the walls you have built up. In time, you learn that the only person you can trust is yourself. So you do. You do not rely on anyone for anything. You believe your only friend is yourself and give up on everyone else. But I tell you from experience, you are better than that. You can accomplish anything possible. You can stand on your own, but you always need someone else to help you stand up in harder times.
Making friends is tough, when you have lost several friends and think that no one really wants to be your friend. Obviously, that is not your fault. Maybe God just placed them in your life for a short period of time to help you learn something new. The group of friends I have now are the most reliable people I can count on in school. I know I can count on them at any time of the day or night.
I know times get hard and you think you cannot do it anymore. You are afraid and do not want to move on from anything. But the advice I have for you is the world is yours, make it what you want. Do not let anyone put you down, more than you already have been. Make yourself happy before making anyone else happy. This is your life, let go and smile.
