Demi expresses this shit so well...

he met her

he liked her

he fell in love with her

he got nervous around her

he got cold feet with her

he was scared of commitment with her

he slowly stopped talking to her

he broke her

he now misses her

best years of your life, but don’t spend your money

best years of your life, but you need to worry about your future

best years of your life, but don’t stay out late with your friends

best years of your life, but you need to get married soon

best years of your life, but don’t go out too much, don’t drink too much, don’t do drugs

best years of your life, but save your money

best years of your life, but wait to travel

best years of your life, but grow up

best years of your life, but are you happy

Who knows the people they hang out with anymore

They say they tell you everything and then one day you find out secrets that you did not hear about for years...

When do you know, the time to cut people lose… sometimes you have friends that move on and you are okay with that, but other friends you aren’t sure if you want them to move on. But honestly when do you know, the time to say, okay we are clearly going our "separate ways," we should probably move on.

You wish them the best but you kind of wish they would have grown up a little bit with you so you guys could move on together...

But like everyone says, "some friends are only meant to teach you lesson and leave, some friends are meant to stay forever..."

For the record I’m not even talking about significant other or people that we are attracted to and then get bored of. I’m talking about those friends that, you were once so close with and then you don’t feel so close to them anymore, those friends that you did everything with and now they are doing it with someone else (that shit hurts), those friends that you once called family but not you aren’t so sure bc you feel like they have been moving on in life. They found someone new to spend their time with...But when you go off to college you wish you could come back home and everything’s back to normal but shit is changing and you don’t know what to do about that one friendship that just doesn’t feel right anymore. What do you do about that one? Move on and act like nothing is gonna change? OR keep holding on tight to something and ale things go back to how they were?

July second:

One word that described today; relaxing

Woke up like it was old times again, I feel myself growing away from certain people but then a couple days later and the ones that want to stay in your life (I feel) will always come back, maybe I’m being too unrealistic but it’s okay to stay positive some days. Everyone needs that once in a while in their lives. Some always sense me as the negative one it seems like; maybe I’ve gotten better compared to what I was like in high school but at least I’m trying. All we can do at the end of the day is try to be better and pray for the ones that need to be better too.
