Sad but true, not everyone who smiles with you wishes you well. Some people don’t have your best interest at heart and call themselves your friends. Some of them thrive off of seeing you suffer, seeing you sad, or angry.I was reflecting on some past friendships and how some of them came undone. Isn’t it funny the older we get, the more we value true friendships. I remember being young and thinking that I needed more and more friends, I could never get enough. I am thankful now for the solid few friends that I have. The ones who really stand by the definition of a true friendship.
It is also very easy for a friendly person to let all kinds of people into their lives, even if that person is only carrying out negativity. Sometimes we fool ourselves into thinking that they are our friends, and we should accept them as they are. All the while we disregard how their negativity trickles into our life, until one day we are filled with negative feelings and have no idea where they came from. Negative people are like toxins, or parasites. They want to infect as many people as they can so they can feel better. Is keeping a friend worth harbouring their negativity, I think not.
Remember, no matter what you choose to do that you must always make sure to maintain your energy and not always adopting other people’s energies as your own. It isn’t an easy decision to make but in time, you will see that those people are either holding you back, or creating roadblocks in your life. Maybe all you need is a change of scenery, an END FRIENDSHIP street to feel better.
