Hii everyone!!
hope all of you are doing well and good...it is my board year going on...though i don't have a lot of readers i have a few loyal ones..so for those who read my blogs..im so sorry for not having been able to post more often..
Anyways!today's topic is something that is very relatable to all the teenagers out there...we all are at that point of life where we find friends and well lose most or many of them and then you end up thinking if they were meant to leave why did they even enter in the first place?
i had this experience from 5th to 10th and I lost friends so often that i ended up thinking that i was the problem and that i am the worst to exist and i have a bad character and what not...i always used to wonder why people entered my life when they were just meant to leave after giving me the most hurtful wound ever and eventually i thought it's just because i deserve all the hurtful words and betrayal...A little later i started thinking that they were the fault and that i was "perfect"..i started thinking that if they left it was their loss..some of u might think that was the right way to deal with it...but no it isn't..
i lost one of my closest friends in 7th...she was from the same state as me and when i joined in the middle of 5th in mumbai everyone told me to stay away from here because she was rude but for some reason i felt so bad for her because everyone always bad mouthed her and never treated her good..(no i'm not saying i'm an angel or smt) and so i decided that i wanted to be her friend an year later we were the bestest of friends and everyone knew us as a pair... we never came alone...we were like sisters and always hung out together...The first time we fought was when a girl tried to bully me by calling me dark skinned and uh i kinda did beat her up (i was very young and dumb okay?!) and instead of supporting me she went to the teacher and said i started the fight by teasing the other girl..well that pissed me off and then we had a fight but i was so attached to her that i went and talked to her..she said that she was "threatened" by the girl about some reason i don't remember but i do remember that the reason was dumb and that i was even more dumb to believe it and trust her again! yay!! ever since that incident i always found something odd about her....behind her notebook she had written that im selfish and not trustworthy...there was always something bad written about me in the back door of the bathroom and despite knowing she was the one behind it i decided to still be her "sister"...then lockdown hit and her grandma got admitted in hospital and she was really attached to her...i used to take care of her and always make sure she took proper protocols before going to and after coming from the hospital..i called her everyday and checked up on her...but now when i look back i never got back the same treatment...soon lockdown was about to end and our classes were getting shuffled because it was different section for kids who took hindi and different for those who opted for sanskrit..she had SWORN that he isn't taking sanskrit no matter what and because of her i had also opted for hindi...after the submission of our preferred subject i asked her if she had taken hindi and she looked right at my face and said "yes of course i'm not leaving you alone!"...
The day the list of the students and their assigned classes came out i checked for my name and in the same line i checked for hers too..but she wasn't there...i was so confused! i called her..she didn't pick up and later she calls me back to say that her mom had submitted the paper and lied to her that she did opt for hindi...well yeah! that was a clear white lie! but did i believe her? yes i did :)
but soon after i could sense the distance in her behaviour...she once asked me for maths question paper but i had lost it and she didn't think twice before saying "well yeah i knew it! you always don't have anything...ill just ask my other friends"...i even let that go...but then i started realising that i was the one who always visited her in her class and she never bothered to do so...eventually i stopped going and she never came to visit me and that is how we stopped talking...
After she left i lost a lot many friends...suhana was just the beginning...sometimes i blamed myself for losing suhana and sometimes i blamed her and this cycle continued to every person who left me...i kept blaming my character and my anger...my over attachment behaviour and sometimes when mom used to say "this is why everyone leaves you" i confirmed it was my fault...I used to think why did the person come to my life if he or she had to leave after hurting me so bad and why is it that it is always the person i get attached to the most..I never asked anyone and even if i did i never got a satisfactory answer...i always came up with my own answers and with time i came up with an answer for this too...
If you think back...you will realise that EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. who ever had a place in your life but doesn't no more taught you a lesson before they left...a very valuable lesson...and along with that they even gave you some good habits...they helped you become better without even realising...she had taught me to write diary and i have been doing it since this day...my diary is my best friend...she taught me that we can never ever trust anyone completely and i would never say she hasn't helped me...she has helped me a lot...and i am always going to be thankful to her...also it is not necessary that the people who left you left with a fight or on a negative note...they just...left...but even that person would have taught you something very valuable...you might have been the happiest with them..you would have thought that they were the ONE...but maybe they weren't...god had someone much much more better kept aside for you and these people were just meant to teach you something so you could improve yourself and become capable of the person you were really meant for...and no..it is not because you are bad or you have a bad character...it is just that your behaviour and their behaviour never matched but you both misunderstood that it did...So, it was obvious that they had a bad opinion of you just like you did of them...
Another thing i would like to add is that you do not have to blame anyone...the situation was not made to be blamed...it was made to fight and overcome...so think back to those moments and appreciate and be thankful to those people for giving you at least a short moment of happiness and making you stronger as they left...
Also always be thankful to the people who stayed no matter what and supported you when you were right and guided you to the right path always...
thank you so much to all my friends who have always stayed no matter what...my true and closest friends...there are some other people as well...i hope you all will always be there by my side..i love you all
I also would like to thank everyone who gave me that short period of happiness and made me a much stronger person...it is all because of them that now I know how to draw boundaries and keep toxic people out of my life and how to never let anyone control your feelings and choices
Thank you <3
