"Trustworthy Friend"

Most recently, I have began to reevaluate who I trust in my life. I am so sick and tired of people telling me how they are and who they are. Your words mean nothing, your actions mean everything. I've personally noticed the less I care about what others think, the happier I am. But I am still angry at myself for trusting fake people who will do anything to hang out with the "cool kids." Watch out for these people, they are so desperate to fit in, they will do anything in their power to fit in.

What a sad life this is, to live in a world where you think you need to fit in and be liked to be everybody. In my life, these people usually aren't that liked and live in a strange reality. For example, I have a person in my life that I thought was my friend, but she is so lost in her life. I feel extremely embarrassed for her. The way she  thinks people see her is funny to me now in hindsight. She pretends to be such a open and happy person.  This same person counts her worth by the number of "friends" she has and how full her social calendar is. Truth be told, those same people that she calls her friends say the nastiest things about her. This is the same person who sat across from me and judged me for my life and my experiences.

I know that I should have told her  how terrible it made me feel, but I knew I would get a false apology with her artificial smile. This person does nothing but judge me for who I am. If it came down to her success and to her fitting in, she would be the first person to throw me under the bus.

At the end of the day, she is digging her own grave. Everything that I have to say, will be said to your face. I don't play "fake" with people. Although, I don't have a plethora of "friends" and my social calendar is not full every day, I know who my true friends are. They are people that love me for who I am. Even when I make the wrong choices, they share my highs and my lows with me. Friends are people who don't make you feel like you can't be yourself. You should never have to apologize for who you are with your friends. If people make you feel bad, leave them, stick to people who make you feel good.

Chances are, the people who are judging you have no self-confidence.

Don't let your self worth be measured by others. You will spend your whole life trying to fit in a mold and filling your life with people who are not worth your time. Meaningless friends are not worth your time or energy. You can get so lost when you worry about what people think about you. Trust me, I have been victim to this. Another learning lesson, people who talk about others to you, are usually talking about you to others.

Just don't forget, others don't define you.
