I was talking to a friend earlier and realized so much has changed in the last few years. She just reminded me of what I lost and what I gained. She reminded me that I should be very grateful because I am in a happy place right now. Years ago I had someone in my life who would tell people not to befriend me. That kind of behavior is appalling to me as much as it is to you. You do not dictate people who you want to be friends with and tell them all the things to hate about someone. Up to this day I still believe a person like that is a scheming neurotic you know what. If you have respect for yourself, do not pull a stunt like that. I did not regret cutting off communication with that person. By losing that negativity, I gained more intelligent friends. I became an even more voracious reader. Also now, I do not worry about someone telling bad things about me behind my back. All my friends talk about are positive things, things we like to do, to read, to buy, to watch, friends we like to talk to. Nobody tells a nasty thing about someone. I am surrounded with brutally honest individuals that when you ask their opinions, you will not be onion skinned and go running in the opposite directions and ask for sympathy. You learn to be mature enough to see things in different point of views. We do not always agree on things but we respect each other’s opinion. I am not always right, but these people never made me feel I’m a know it all. They teach me to accept the realities in life. It is not always hearts and flowers, the thorns make you stronger most of the time.. I bid goodbye to the thorns though, I welcome the wild flowers in my life. Thank you for making me realize people are people, people will never change until the day they die. You only change when you make a conscious effort to do so. Otherwise you stay the same. We are what we are. Lastly, karma is a bitch, only when you are!
