Assignment 19 Maranda Gaines

A piece of advice that has really stuck with me is to keep the people who have always been there for you and are important to you, close in your life.  I’ve seen many people around me forget who was there for them in the beginning. Whether it be family members distancing themselves from other family or friends choosing their boyfriends over their true friends, I think people as a whole forget what’s important. Ignoring those who have always supported you will eventually end in you being alone and without anyone. Personally, I feel like I’m always there for many people in my life who prioritize the wrong things and I’ve seen them lose themselves and other people along the way. I know from experience that I’ve distanced myself from friends I’ve had since 6^th grade over only a temporary boyfriend. Learning from this mistake, I’ll try to follow this advice from now on.
