No one actually knows when they will meet someone and begin to honor that individual as a friend. Only for that person to clearly turn their back on them. Many times throughout life it’s like a repeating cycle when the one person who you can seem to trust the most will turn their back on you. Therefore, you will stop confiding in them as well as trusting him/her.

Of course, it is a horrible feeling especially if you have been nothing but good to that person and they simply think it is alright to continue to destroy your lack of trust. You have to be the bigger person in the situation and stop confiding and trusting in them because it will only continue to hurt you even more. No matter how much you may love that person just stop dealing with them. It may not be an easy process but overtime you will come to realize that you feel so much better without them.

I have learned in life it’s just fine to trust someone! There is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping your guard up. When you start meeting genuine people and they care about your well being and only what’s best for you. Always calling, texting, and emailing etc. to check on you to make sure you’re alright and not in need of anything. It’s just fine to let those kinds of individuals into your life because they only want what’s best for you.

It’s not an easy process just trusting anyone but you will be able to feel the love and happiness it brings into your life to have people who care about you and love you dearly. It will help you in ways you have never imagined. At times, it can be even your own family members, childhood friend, an ex-boyfriend/girlfriend etc. who will let you down. Then boom you get to meeting new people in your life and they are treating you so good! Keep those ones by your side and trust in them. Those are the ones that love and care for you which are those new individuals!

It’s never easy letting go of the many people who have always been in your life. But when all they bring into your life is heartache and pain. It’s time to put a stop to it because it will only get worse. You will continue to get your feelings hurt and cry!

Many people don’t know what they have good in their life until it’s all gone bye-bye.Once you have washed your hands (decided to be done with them). Start making yourself the number one priority in your life because at the end of the day you are what matters most.

The life of a college student isn’t easy at all. Do you know how much time and energy you need to put into your studies? If so, you would refrain from having people who always let you down continue to be in your life. It will only cause a distraction to who the person you are destined to be.

Indeed, it is a process when you love a toxic individual! Just start loving them from a distance and as time fades away you will see those people who hurt you didn’t really matter anyways.

Start trusting yourself and do what makes you happy. Surround yourself around the ones who love you for just simply loving you because those people who have been hurting you will just continue to hurt you while acting as if they are doing nothing wrong. Believe in yourself and put you first because you are what matters most in your life. Celebrate and trust those ones caring and checking up on you to just to make sure you have a smile on your face. Small things like that can go a long way throughout life.
