I
am not the same person I was about two years ago, and I better idea what I want
in life. When I was in high school all I wanted was for everyone to like me and
be my friend. Everyone in school knew me as “nana the nice girl”, and it wasn’t
a bad name, until people started to take advantage of me. The friends that I had
back than I do not have now. I would let my so called friends tell me what to do,
and do things for them. I knew that it was not good, but I wanted everyone to
like me, and at times my friends would be rude to me and I would take it. At times I felt that I was losing myself, and
all I wanted to be popular, and that wasn’t me. Many of the friends I had in
high school didn’t care about school, and wanted to party all the time; but
that wasn’t me. After we graduated I started to see what friends actually
mattered to me. People say you find out who your true friends are after high
school, and I fully believe that. I thought I was going to stay close to
everyone, but I didn’t. With time I started to realize the friends I had didn’t
push me around, and didn’t take advantage of me. The friends I had cared about
me and wanted the best for me. I felt like
I was getting to like myself, and I wasn’t around people with bad motives. I
can say I have changed, I do not care if people do not like me, and I am happy
the way I am. If someone does not like that, it is their problem. I refuse to
let one tell me how to live my life, and I am in a good place right now with
people who care about me, and want me to succeed in life.
This was a very good topic choice. It brought so many memories back from my high school years. I hate to admit that it was a very long time ago. I am fortunate to say that I have one very dear friend that has been my friend since high school. Just like your blog says though, you find out who your true friends are after high school. It sounds like you changed a lot yourself. Standing your ground and not compromising who you are just to be liked. Thank you for sharing!
