IT MAKES NO SENSE TO TRY TO EXTEND A FRIENDSHIP THAT WAS ONLY MEANT TO BE A SEASON INTO A LIFESTYLE. YOU WILL EVOLVE PAST CERTAIN PEOPLE. LET YOURSELF.

my friends, real friends, better than your friends, yeah. beyonce, sing it! but nah, on a serious note friendships are a sticky subject to be completely honest with you. when it comes to drifting apart, everyone reacts differently. some will be in denial and don’t want to let go whereas others will have no difficulty to accept it is what it is and hope they can meet later when the time is right. i’m definitely the second option. i don’t have time to wait around for you to pop up when it’s convenient. that is very toxic! not only that, you outgrow people which is completely fine as your life is evolving and so is theirs. despite the memories you have with certain people or how long you have known them for. it is okay to drift apart. few people are lucky to have that one friend who will always be there for you regardless of the changes that occur in their life. *cue the aw* haha. but personally, i’m happy with the amount of people i have in my life; genuine souls, bantering people and good vibes. this is what everyone needs to be surrounded with, and they know who they are.

let’s shift to uni, meeting new people is very refreshing as I have met so many good people - female and male who have contributed to my university experience. i wish that these friendships are long term, not temporary but we’ll see what god has in store for me. besides that, another aspect i would of loved to change in my life is going to a different sixth form as this would of opened a space where i could meet all different types of people therefore ‘following the trend that all my friends plan to go this sixth form’ shouldn’t have affected me as change is not scary but mandatory. this links back to friendships, haha. at the same time, maybe it was gods’ plan for me to stick going to this sixth form as i would of not been the same person i’m today. listen, god works in mysterious ways I tell ya!

but the one thing i want you all to take is that you shouldn’t comprise your own happiness for others; just to please and keep them around. it is not healthy, and the right people will enter your life unexpectedly; old friends or even new friends that you just encountered will benefit your life in a positive way, and bring you the maximum happiness that you deserve. patience is a virtue, don’t forget that!
