there come a time when you have to realize that some people aren’t meant to stay in your life forever. and when you realize that you cannot change that, and you cannot force them to stay in your life-even as a friend- you will be better off. as my new years resolution, I am determined to let things go completely even if it means losing a good person as a friend. if someone want to stay in your life, they will find a way, if not they will make one excuse after another and will continue to hurt you.  I no longer will allow myself to be hurt by these types of people when I have plenty of other amazing friends and family who will always be by my side whenever I need them to be.
