“I may never be good enough for someone, but I’ll be the BEST for those that deserve me.”<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n I\u2019ve been a loner for many years now, but I wasn\u2019t always this way. I was once I wide eyed innocent little girl who thought everyone wanted to be my friend as much as I wanted to be theirs. Of course I found out otherwise, which in turn is what made me become a loner. But over time, I learned to let my guard down enough to take the chance to let some people in because for as much as people can hurt you sometimes, it hurts just as much to be alone.<\/font><\/p>\n <\/font><\/p>\n In some ways, deep down, I still am that wide eyed little girl who wants people to like me and be my friend as much as I want to be theirs and I still feel the pain that I did when I was a little girl when I discover this to not always be the case. But I am lucky enough to have a few special people in my life, a few true friends. However the road to finding them has been a long one and one I continue to travel as I always hope to meet new people and make new friends\u2026.REAL friends\u2026.along my journey. But sometimes the road has quite a few bumps in it. The saying \u201cYou need to kiss a few frogs before you find your Prince Charming\u201d is true, even in regards to friendship. As much as it hurts, we sometimes need to have a few people who we thought was a friend turn out to be \u201ca frog\u201d and you know why? Because the lessons we learn from those people and our experiences with them make us appreciate our real friends more and teaches us how we can become a better friend ourselves. Overall, we become stronger and better people for it.<\/font><\/p>\n <\/font><\/p>\n We learn what things hurt us the most that another person can do to us and hopefully makes us strong enough to not tolerate being treated like that again. It teaches us what we are willing to put up with and willing to sacrifice in order to please and have some people in our lives. It teaches us how to determine who is worth the effort and worth making <\/font>these sacrifices for and who isn\u2019t. It teaches us how it\u2019s okay to finally just walk away if you need to once you realize that your \u201cfrog friend\u201d isn\u2019t treating you right or who you discover through their words and actions, isn\u2019t someone you would want to be friends afterall, no matter how bad you might feel about doing it. Sometimes you can only do so much. Sometimes people either don\u2019t realize a good thing when they have it or they just don\u2019t care that they do. Some people are just so concerned and focused on themselves and their wants, needs, and problems that they don\u2019t leave any room to care about yours. Sometimes people are just clueless and don\u2019t realize that they should take a long hard look at there lives and the difference for the better your presence makes in it before they decide that your \u201cfriendship services\u201d are no longer needed. Sometimes people don\u2019t realize what they had until it\u2019s gone.<\/font><\/p>\n <\/font><\/p>\n <\/font><\/p>\n It always hurts to lose someone you care about in any way, but there seems to be some kind of universal balance always at work. When you lose someone who doesn\u2019t appreciate you or who quite frankly just doesn\u2019t want to be in your life or have you in theirs, it makes room to allow people in who will appreciate you and be glad to call you a friend. You might want to call it life performing a spring cleaning of sorts as it removes certain people and things from our lives and in turn brings in new people and new experiences. We learn and grow from it all.<\/font><\/p>\n <\/font><\/p>\n I do more than just \u201cget by\u201d with a little help from my friends\u2026.my true friends. I don\u2019t know what I would do without them <3<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “I may never be good enough for someone, but I’ll be the BEST for those that deserve me.” I\u2019ve been a loner for many years now, but I wasn\u2019t always this way.
