The older I get, the fewer my friends become.
Not because I hate people, but because I learned the value of peace, loyalty, and genuine connections.
Some people were only around for access, not for the journey.
I started saying NO, and I lost friendships.
I set BOUNDARIES, and people got offended.
I drew the LINE, and people left.
I built SELF-RESPECT, and they walked away.
People leave when they lose access to the version of you that was always available and tolerated everything.
“Today matters most.”Those three words are your permission to release what you cannot change. Not because the past does not matters. But, because drowning in it does not honor anyone. Especially not yourself.
Read those words again. Not as a pleasant quote to admire, but as a law of existence. “The quality of our thoughts determines the quality of our lives.”
