Dealing with the reality of knowing that someone is fake can be hard. After all, you could have spent years getting to know that person. However, holding on to them is even worse than letting them go.
The true friends are those who lighten your load. These are the people who cheer for you during your successes, stick around when you’ve messed up, and help you see that you truly do matter.
Sometimes we outgrow people, and that is okay. In order to make a real garden, we need to get rid of the weeds. It is far better to be alone than be surrounded by people who make you feel like you aren’t there at all. The good people won’t ever make you question where you stand.
