UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE
THERE ARE LESSONS TO BE LEARNT AND GROWH TO BE FOUND.
This is a strong positive to take from life and will only increase your experience with those around you, this realisation is not to deter from friendships or relationships but to create AWARENESS and tie the strong bonds of relationships even tighter.
It’s sometimes hard to digest but most people don’t care as much as you think they do. Essentially people only care about themselves and if the situation can impact them positively or they can gain something from the experience then they will act accordingly. If, however it could have a negative impact or result in an uncomfortable experience then they often will retreat into the distance.
People will lie to protect themselves and their own interests and attack if they feel threatened. Hard (and often regretful) words can come from this place and understanding this will allow you to not dwell on the harshness and hold on to emotions.
Unfortunately it’s usually during the tough times that you determine who you want in your life. You find out those who will be there in the good and in the bad. Those who will tell you that you’re not being your best and think you can do better. Those who think not only of themselves but how you and how together you will be impacted. Someone who goes through the dark and uncomfortable and can still see the light in you.
They will share your light and not try extinguish it when it’s brighter than theirs. They don’t need to be connected by blood, but instead by experience, sweat, tears , forged through adversities, love , compassion, respect , growth and an unwillingness to settle for anything less than the best.
There is a special place in your heart for these people. FRIENDS. FAMILY.
