Sometimes you become close to people you never thought you would give a second glance to. I find these are usually the best kinds of situations.
That awkward, quiet kid in the corner of the classroom that the teacher pairs you up with at the end of the semester…and you realize how freakin cool they actually are. Or you go to a party, and end up having a 3 hour conversation with the one person you didn’t expect to relate to AT ALL.
Keep your eyes, your heart, and your mind open, and you can expect great things to happen.
[ I have to tell myself this a lot, especially with guys. I, by nature, do not trust the male species. I've never had a bad relationship, I've never been screwed over or hurt beyond repair. For some reason, it's just a trait I was born with. I hesitate, I over-analyze, and I go VERY slow. If someone seems interested in me, I automatically think "Well, there has to be something wrong with THEM then, if they like ME." It's terrible and unfortunate, but I'm slowly overcoming it.]
I’m not saying things will never end in some kind of heartbreak. We’ve all had our fair share of that. Friendships and other relationships die sometimes. We can’t stop it, it’s sort of a natural thing.
Never regret knowing someone you once cared about. There was a reason, and just because that season of reason is over doesn’t mean it was for nothing. Chances are, that person changed you forever in some way. Big or small.
But if you keep in mind that the people that are still in your life are the ones worth holding on to, everything will be ok.
Can miles truly separate you from friends…. If you want to be with someone you love, aren’t you already there?
