Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

I wish I had learned this earlier than 2 years ago. When someone I had counted on was nowhere to be found.

I have had to learn that when people push you out of their lives it has more to do with them than with you. I was going through some pretty nightmarish crap & this person just turned & walked away. The person I thought would leave actually stayed & we’ve grown close & the person I thought I was close to chose to leave.

A true friend will pull up a chair & support you no matter what. Whereas someone who begins to push you away no longer cares & neither should you.

Your mental well being comes first & if they try to make you feel unsafe or mock your experience they’re not your friend. I had to learn this the hard way but I’m grateful for the people that have stuck by my side no matter what. They’re the ones that matter not the people that walked out of your life. Period.
