What was the hardest thing you had to experience?

“The hardest thing I had to experience was letting go of the ones that held me beneath myself. That was the hardest thing I had to experience because I never thought that I would have to let someone go especially if that person meant a lot to me. This experience changed me by knowing that even though I lost one, I can gain another. Every downfall is another come up.”

Does this affect who you choose to associate yourself with?

“Yes, it does affect who I associate with.”

How?

“This affected me by the limited people I allow to enter my life. Yes, I do look at traits in a person because they could be nice the second they meet you, but then switch up in a matter of seconds. Red flags...Showing their true colors, controlling about everything, not too concerned about the friendship, nags you about the littlest things, etc.”

Do you have any advice or anything to say to people who are struggling with this too?

“Know who your real friend is before calling that person your friend. Oh and always try to get to know the person because that person could seem to be nice at first but be devious inside.”
