I Always Thought I Knew Who I Could Count On When Life Got Hard
I Always Thought I Knew Who I Could Count On When Life Got Hard
The people who say that they have your back and will be there when you need them..
But when the going got tough and life knocked me down, I realized that mostly everyone that said they’d
be there..
It hurt so badly that people I thought had my best interest at heart..weren’t who I had imagined them to
be.
Turns out, when things got challenging, I found who were the loyal souls that showed up and had my
back.
I fought the tears as I tried not to feel betrayed, but I forced a smile through my turbulent emotions..
It’s better to know now than to find out later when I was truly counting on them.
Not because you don’t want them in your life, but because they don’t care enough to try to stay.
I guess I don’t really understand how some can just say whatever they think you want to hear..
But as I look to the future, my heart is lifted at the thought of those beautiful souls that I call my true
friends.
It’s time to turn the chapter and let go of the people who never really were going to make it to the end
of my story..
I’d rather have five amazing people beside me than a hundred fake friends that will never show up.
Not everyone is going to be like me- and many won’t do whatever they can do to be there for people
they claim to love.
It still won’t change who I am or how I love..I will just be more selective in who I choose to let get close
to me.
I’m awesome.
I got this.
