Wow, can you believe 2017 is over? I definitely can’t. 2017 was full of lots of love and laughter, but it also came with its share of pain and heartache. Of course I know life can never be perfect, but it doesn’t keep the painful things that happen from still hurting.
This past year I would say the most painful experiences have been losing a few friendships that I thought would be life long. I thought these were people who would stand beside me no matter what happened in life. However, they proved to be the opposite. They abandoned me when I needed them most. Which really really hurt and it still does honestly.
However, through losing these friends, I gained life experiences. I have definitely been guilty of being “too nice” to people. And after this, I found out I don’t have to be nice to everyone. I found out how confident and strong I can be. How I can stand up for what I believe in and how I am not going to let people walk all over me.
Even though losing these close friendships was devastating, in the big scheme of things, I don’t think they were ever truly friends anyways. Here is to a New Year and fresh start❣
