Learning Your Worth

Growing up, I would never say I was the one that tried to fit in. I would consider myself the popular loner. I could be friends with anyone, but I would prefer to be by myself and do my own thing. I never cared too much about what other people thought because at the end of the day, this is your life, your decisions, and your happiness, no one else’s. That is what many people fail to realize. Many people would just rather fit into a group of friends, who do not really care about them, they just want to have fun. However, that is your first mistake, yes everyone starts off like that, but you must learn eventually that all you need is one genuine friend to make you feel happy. I say this from experience, because I tend to push everyone away, but there were only two people that dealt with this about me, and that is my best friend of now ten years and my boyfriend who has been my friend for four years prior. However, it is good to reach out to new people, outside of your comfortable circle, because you can see things from a new perspective and discover a special bond that you did not even know existed. However, I am not always correct and sometimes if you have many friends they could always love and care for you equally, just because I have never experienced it, does not mean it could never occur, but the way I went about it caused me to never have any let downs, I mean it sucks occasionally when they are busy, but I work several jobs as well, so that is not always the case. Moreover, some things that I would suggest here is that you should have a good self-reflection on your life and see if you are happy with your decisions and if the friends that you have currently support you and are there for you no matter what. If that is not the case, for you to be happy, I would suggest letting those negative people out of your life, and only care about the people that care about you. You are living life to fulfil your success and happiness, no one else’s, so at the least, you just need people there, that have always been there for you, to be happy for you. If you find yourself trying too hard to keep someone around, I can guarantee you that they are not worth your while, and you can find someone much better.
