Surround Yourself With The Right People

We've all had those friendships that you thought were going to last forever but now looking back you say to yourself ' What was I thinking?'. Looking back you realise how suffocating that friendship was and personally I often question how I was so blind to not see that it wasn't a true friendship. Sometimes though, you have to experience that bad to appreciate the good.

I have found that as I have gotten older it has gotten easier to tell the traits in people that I do and do not like, you have to learn to associate with the right people, therefore if you ever get the sense of something you do not like or get the feeling that there is pressure being put onto you for some sort of reason, remove yourself from that situation, that person or that group of friends because you don't want to get dragged into unnecessary arguments, drama or fights.

Trust me when I say you will know when you have the right group of friends! They will give you an endless amount of support even when you don't ask for it, they will have your back and you will just feel at ease with them.

Just remember a large number of friends doesn't make you any cooler because one real friend is better than 100 fake friends. So just surround yourself with people that make you happy.

I am lucky enough to have an amazing group of friends and I don't seem to tell them that enough. Although we all have our bad days we know that we are all there for each other and that's what I love the most about our friendship.. We often push each others buttons but we will never leave each others side and that's what real friendship is.

Each and every one of them is amazing and I am so grateful to call them my best friends.
