The quote says it all.
It wasn't until recently when i was having a deep conversation with a really close friend of mine about this particular topic.
I went to sleep that night thinking, "Wow, she's so right."
"After high school, you'll find out who your true friends are."
Who was there for you just for a season.
Who stayed friends with you for their own reasons.
And, Who will always be there for you no matter what.
Every single time my mind wanders back to this, it hurt me a little, to know that what once was so many different types of friendships turned out to be just a memory of the past.
When you thought you were important to a certain person and it turns out you aren't as important as you thought you were.
When you thought you would be missing them like crazy and it turns out that you didn't need them that much.
When you were so close to people you thought were your friends for life, and will always be there for you and those people turned out to be there just for a season, or worst, for their own selfish reasons.
I guess this is called growing up. Most of the friends i made happened to be there just for a season. We had a good time, made amazing memories which will be with me forever as a mark of the past of what once was. I have a couple of friends who actually stayed in my life for their own selfish reasons. Those really hurt but hold your head high and smile. Karma's gon' bite them in the ass one day. The real world isn't all rainbows and butterflies, it's beautiful but you've got to look through the madness, judgement and darkness first.
However, the beautiful part?
When you meet honest people who actually love you for who you are, accepts your flaws and imperfections and are genuinely sincere, hold on to them.
Because they fall into the third category, Friends for a Lifetime.
& I am so blessed to have them.
