Here’s the thing,

You cannot lose real friends.

You just can’t.

They won’t go, no matter how hard you push them away when you are not quite yourself.
They will wait and wait and wait – until they see a tiny little glimmer of your light breaking through – and back they will come.

So, if you are feeling sad about the people you have ‘lost’ along the way. Try not to.

They were never yours to keep.

If they are not banging down your door when times are tough, they are not deserving of a place at your table when times are good.

Harsh?

True.

Keep your energy and your love for those who reciprocate fully.

Life is too short for fair-weather friends.

Life is too short for those who zap your energy and never fill it back up again.

No matter how small your circle is, let its light be mighty.
