Turn and face the strain!
25 seems to be the going age where everything starts to change, like big time. At least I'm noticing it more with myself and friends. Everyone I know is going through some kind of major change in their life, whether it be making different choices, giving up things, starting things, like super big changes. I'm noticing more and more as the years go by, people begin to become introverted. Keeping things to themselves, being private. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but sometimes a friend would like to know what's up.
A few years back I disappeared. I cut my friends off, didn't tell anyone anything and tried to make the best of what I was going through. To this day, only a handful of people know the extent of how devastated I really was; A state I wouldn't want anyone to see me in. There's no need for me to get into the details now, but I just wanted to get across that I understand the need to wear a "mask". I'm not the type of person that leads on I'm upset or hurting--but you can definitely tell when I'm mad lol. Braving that phase of my life, was one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. I have no regrets choosing to do it alone, whether or not others disagreed with me.
There are too many of us in the world, to not rely on each other. There should be no reason to feel alone, but we all do. I'm just putting it out there for all to know, there's nothing you can't come to me with. Whether it be to vent, for advice, for help or just for the sake of needing to have fun. Being a good friend is not about the times when it's convenient...it's about being there for each other when it's not.
