Before reading, I want you to know this is to not attack anybody at all. I want to put in my perspective that it’s okay to let go of bad people, but make sure the time is right to do it. Friendships can last a lifetime, some can be till high school is over, but make sure to be okay with yourself.
“Letting go means to realize that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny”. -Unknown
My OU Journey so far has been keeping friendships, and letting go of old ones. So here’s the blog to demonstrate to you world.
There’s a song that Kesha wrote and sang called, “Learn to Let Go“.
I know you have to wonder why the title? It’s simple. The reason I chose this title is that after my high school graduation, I thought I was going to keep friends. Along my way to high school, I lost a lot of friends, but in the end, I still kept some. From elementary, middle, and even high school, I still kept my friends. A friend I let go was someone I considered my “best friend”.
Me and my “best friend” were really close since middle school, sixth grade to be exact. How we met was through a grouping. One of the reasons we stopped communicating was because he was someone who had unexpectedly lost my trust and respect. To be honest, I was a little upset with how the friendship ended because of the actions that made them become that character. No, honestly, I don’t want to sound negative at all, but I wish nothing but success and happiness for them to say from me. Labor Day weekend changed me because of the “best friend”, and how my confidence in certain people (specifically guys), is not worth having as friends.
Most of my group of friends are women, with guys I trust. I love the friendships here at OU, and wouldn’t change it for the world. I love my relationships with my friends and my time here. Vanessa, one of my closest friends has my respect and is one of the few individuals who knew this person. Honestly, hearing that from her, the things about them, I wouldn’t have expected. I’m kinda sad to let people go, but you don’t live life if the people who are going to use you, destroy you, make you stronger. That is why my expectations with friends sometimes question if they’re worth my time or not. I am happy that some people that were negative in my life be gone. If someone like that person made good memories with, I forever will cherish them, but let go of their actions and the person they’ve become.
