Somehow the sunshine brings out the best.
So ever since the weather has looked up, I can't help but be happier with life. My optimism has increased, and I am content in even the smallest joys.
Which brings me to my next point, and newest train of thought.
Life companions; friends; buddies; soul mates; acquaintances. Call them what you like. How do we know that they're real?
Recently, Cara Delevingne posted this to instagram. And yes I follow her, who cares? :)
We've seen all sorts of quotes just like this one. They're posted on pinterest, facebook, instagram; you name it. And usually disregarded, because we've heard it all before.
But are you actually listening?
I've come to realize over the past couple of weeks that not everyone is worth it. That may sound harsh, but it's honest. So often we hold onto the hope of something more. That that someone will continue to be in your life. But circumstances change. Life happens. And that's ok.
For the last few months I've been trying to ignore the fact that I'm lonely. Not everyone that I'd like continues to reach out to me, to try and stay friends.
So instead of waiting around and feeling sorry for myself, I'm being more optimistic about life. If those friends are true, they'll prove it. I won't have to continue to wonder whether or not I'm worth their time.
And that's freeing! I don't find myself wallowing in the past.
I also realize that a lasting friendship is a two-way street. I'm not going to simply wait around for those friends to redeem themselves. I too want to prove that I would still like to be in their life. That they mean something to me.
Life is best when shared. That's what I believe anyway.
Who are you going to share it with?
