Focus on yourself.

The beauty about life is that it never stops, it's a Wednesday today and tomorrow it'll be a Thursday; that transition is supposed to happen unless the world comes to an end. 

Growing up is a process, it changes so much about you, the way you talk, the way you think and the way you choose to see the perspective. Even you change your choices, things which you once thought about doing, they end up being not the plate that's in front of you. If you change yourself out of your own decisions and choices, 99.9% of the times you'll be happy with what you get. Some time ago I thought that there should be a constant presence of someone you like to enjoy life, over time I realized everyone needs their own space and freedom, even if you like them, take some time out just for yourself so you don't end up unnecessarily depending up on themselves. I did the unnecessary depending thing, and ugh you really don't need that, you end up losing your creativity and your own streak of happiness, your confidence is dependent upon someone else and you feel that happiness and joy has been drained out of your life when that person is no longer around.  

Don't give the title of a "friend" to just someone, it's not cheap. Let them earn it and earn that title for yourself too, so you know how much it means to be called an actual friend. 

It feels great to be wanted, that's because of the chemicals your body secretes, hearing something cheesy, make you feel good and flows satisfaction in your life, but don't rely on people, just rely on yourself. If you rely on people you end up disappointed but you can't change them, if you invest and rely on yourself and aren't satisfied with the results well you can always try again and again.

Life's like a boxing ring, none of us is walking out alive, so might as well give it the best and make it as much of an intense fight as you can, you'll be hit with haymakers, jabs, uppercuts, straight punches and sometimes below the belt, you're allowed to defend yourself and build momentum but once you charge yourself, don't stop landing those punches till you can't no more. So you breathe in all your experiences and walk into that fight determined to leave your mark on the crowd, you can do it and so you will. Fight, evolve, defend and never give up. 

If someone leaves you today, you must remember that the world hasn't ended, the sun will rise again tomorrow morning, that sinking feeling will leave and you'll soon be swimming to that sandy beach on a beautiful day. Someone leaving can be the best thing that happens to you, you might be able to scratch the surface and find the actual happiness and contentment.
