It's Okay to Say Goodbye

My last blog I had discussed a situation that had occurred between my friend S and I. Recently after a period of not talking, S messaged us again in the same group. Needless to say, our friendship is over. I realized that no matter how much you care for a person, no matter how much you want to try and help a person, no matter how much you think sharing you past in efforts to help and to build a friendship with a person, if they do not care about anything other than themselves, it is pointless. It is a waste of time and energy. 

There are something that people have the choice of in life. You chose what college you attend, what major you will be, what city you live in, the friendships you make, the type of relationships you build, the type of car you'll drive, so on and so forth. If you don't like the place that you are in and you want to complain about it constantly, wouldn't you want to change something in attempts to make your life happier? better? If you don't like the type of friendships you have, wouldn't you want to stop being friends with those types of people and try starting new? It won't be easy to do that, but like any good thing in life, you have to work hard for it. It isn't something that is going to change instantly. 

We all have our pasts and my past isn't the worst, but it isn't the best either. There were situations that I chose to be in and I continued to chose to be in those situations until I realized that those situations weren't good for me. They weren't healthy for me. They were turning me into the type of person I didn't want to be. 

Because of my past, I learned that if you want something to change, you can change it. It will take time, patience, perseverance, and determination, but it can and will happen. If you don't like your present, you can change something and make it your past. I know and believe that it can happen, and I believe that anyone can do it when they have the right kind of support. Don't settle for something because you think that it is what you're supposed to do or supposed to be. Don't let others words become who you are. People are worth more than other peoples words. Stand up and say, "I AM NOT WHAT YOU CALL ME. I AM SOMETHING MORE. I WILL BE SOMETHING MORE. YOU WILL NOT DETER ME FROM BECOMING THE PERSON I AM MEANT TO BE." I will be right beside you screaming those words right along with you.
