People Change.... Friends Included

The craziest realization I’ve came to as of recently was that even when you see a person, and talk to them everyday you may not know as much about them as what you think.

You have to remember that, that person does have a life outside of you. You're not the only person they interact with nor are you the only person they could be having influences from. Like the saying, "you are who you hang around": you're not the only person that they hang around. What you know about them is only limited to what you see, and hear while with them.

I had so many red flags be shown to me, even after praying to God to help me make sure they should be in my life & what do I do? Keep the exact person in my life who God already warned me shouldn’t be in it in the first place. It's hard truly loving someone, and really caring about just to have all that you've put in to them be spat back in your face.

Even with trying to help that person through all their problems & them being there for me...it was like the bond just couldn't stay strong enough to actually be repaired. And I'll be the first to admit that it's more than hard letting someone you care about go... friend or significant other, but you manage right?

It's like first you meet someone, have introductions then start a conversation and begin to learn about each other. Over time, you find that person is growing on you. You feel so lucky to have them in your life, and they mean the world to you.

That friend you've known for what seems like ages finally decides to show their true colors or reveal how they actually feel about you. When all your relationship problems come to a-head, and now your stuck between a rock & a hard place. You care about this person, but is it more damaging to keep them around or cut them loose?

Before you know it, it's as if the person you met those ages ago is someone completely different.

You didn’t want to believe that person changed, but they did. Or maybe you did.

There's a difference between growing with someone, and growing away from someone.


Always a pleasure to share with you, thank you.
