Life
is a journey that can be excruciating but rewarding once you have reached that
place you pictured yourself at 10, 20, 50 years ago. It is a journey at the end
of which you are rewarded when you have put in the time and the efforts that
were required for you to succeed. But beyond that, there is the satisfaction
you get from realizing that you have been surrounded by the right persons. I
believe that the choice of the people we surround ourselves with can be very
critical in shaping what our lives will be like from the moment we meet them.
Why? Well the answer is very simple... There are three kinds of people you will
meet in your life: people that will bring the best out of you, people that will
bring the worst out of you and people that will just leave you like
"meh... Whatever!"
Who
you chose to surround yourself with will either make you reach for the stars or
make you go rock bottom. And because we are human beings, we do not always make
the smartest choices and of course, the choice of who we allow in our lives
applies to this rule. Fortunately enough, life is about teaching us lessons and
opening our eyes on things that otherwise we would have chosen not to see. I
love how life can slowly take down the entire fake out of people and reveal
their true nature through the trials and sufferings that one might endure. Yes,
it is true: you only get to know your true friends when you are going through
some shit and that 90% of your so called friends are not willing to help you
fix the mess or even support you in times you need them to.As long as
everything thing is fine they will always stand there and pretend that they
love you unconditionally. But wait until your life is turned upside down, they
will all vanish in the air and it will be as if some of them had never existed
in your life.
People might not fully understand how important it is to be surrounded with the
right persons until they find themselves alone in the dark, their back against the wall,
fighting their battles ALONE. for being there at some points in my life, I know how much it can hurt to have none left... None
left to turn to, except few people you might not even have tought of. Then with time they turn into the few people you learn to count on, the few that walk by your side along the way, during the high and
the lows, during the smiles and the tears, during the times of happiness and
the times of sorrows. The few that truly know you like a book they have read over and over and who you can trust even in midst of betrayal.
One
thing I have learned from life is that the people you start you journey with
are not necessarily the one you will end up with. Though, It might happen sometimes
that your journey end with the same persons you have started with. In either case, you need
sometimes to let go of some people for you to be able to move on. Don't worry
if at some point you don't know what seems to be the right decision to make
regarding who to let in and who to let out because guess what? Life is like a
strainer: it will let the essential people continue with you and show the exit
to the one whose time to walk by your side has expired.
So
chill out, smile, be happy and enjoy the journey as much as you can
