Day 14: Someone You Drifted Away From

In 2007, I made some major changes. I didn’t drift away from a person, I drifted away from a lot of people. You know the saying, “This plane is ready for take off and if you’re not on board then you’re getting left.” <-- At least I think that’s the saying LOL. Anyway, I had to leave some people behind. It wasn’t that I was better than them: it was the positivity/negativity thing. I was looking to better my life, be positive, work on my dreams, and grow closer with God. I couldn’t deal with the drama, negativity, and constant chaos. I believe that if you want to be happy and positive, you can. Some people choose to have drama in their life; they wrap themselves in drama everyday. I just couldn’t carry that with me and I still refuse to. I have enough stress of my own with pursuing my goals so why keep people around that don’t benefit me and that I can’t benefit? As positive as I am, I know that there are people that can’t deal with my lifestyle. My advice is going to be different, my conversation is going to be different, even my nightlife is different. Yes I still have fun, hang out, and socialize but needless to say I know for a fact that I am different. I believe in forgiveness, letting love go and if it finds its way back to you then it’s meant to be. I believe in seeking God for advice first and loving yourself to the fullest. Knowing that I’m human and I sometimes have downfalls, it helps to have positive friends that will remind you and keep you on track. One thing that I can say is, my Houston crew is exactly what I’m talking about (No offense Vegas…I do have awesome people here too) If I go to any of them with a personal problem, we pray, we discuss, and we definitely handle the situation in the best way possible. I love that! I love that I can say I have an awesome, intelligent, goal-seeking, positive, and ambitious set of friends.

So, to ALL of the people that I've drifted away from…I hope that you don’t take offense to this and I wish you the best in life. I’m not judging you, I just know that our relationship is better off from afar.
