I Believe In Quality Not Quantity Of True Friends
In junior high, I was a nasty, popular, mean girl.
I put so much effort into being the queen bee, and sure enough, I was. I pushed away the nerdy boy i was best friends with in middle school that would go on crazy bike rides with me, hold my hair when I was sick, show up at my house just to watch movies, and play video games together. I pushed away the girl who I told all my darkest secrets to, the girl who I climbed trees with, did homework with, and took silly selfies on webcams with low quality effects. I pushed my two best friends, Madi (Yes, we have a very similar name) and Liam away, just to become what? A preppy girl with 4000 Instagram followers and thousands more Twitter followers? Out of those combined 9000 or so people, how many of them were really there for me? 4 or 5 at best, but nothing compared to Madi and Liam. Even they drifted apart because of me, and to this day, I am still considered a popular, preppy girl, but I've done everything I can to make sure I treat EVERYONE with kindness in love. Madi and I actually reunited at a church last year, and it was the best experience I've had in a long time- She forgave me, and her warm embrace made me realise how much true friends matter. Madi and I are friends again, and I'm trying my best to reconnect with Liam somehow. Your true friends are there for you through thick and thin, how many of those people would have been there for me if I threw away my laptop and phone? It's an interesting thought. I'm still a young girl really, and I wish I'd learnt the lesson on true friends sooner.
