Hey lovelies,
So I just finished high school and my life feels like it has just been flipped upside down.
Not just because now I am faced with more responsibility or the fact that everyone is on my back about my future but more so the little things that used to make life enjoyable.
I often look back on the past and I know sometimes it does hurt but I also think of the good times I shared with others.
The thing about high school is that for the past 6 years you have built up friendship with people. You grow up together and go through some of the toughest times like being a teenager or finding yourself. Feeling as though you have people who understand you and who may be going through the same thing by your side and that just always makes things a little easier.
Throughout the years those friendship will either strengthen or break. But what I've been told just about a thousand times by those who have been in my shoes is that friendships rarely ever last after high school. Those friends you are with at the moment, are not those who you grow old with.
I guess I used to think about it but didn't really take it as something that would happen to my friendship group. We were always so close and always go out together. But now looking at what I do in a typical week compared to what I used to do, my friends are no where to be seen. Everyone has gone their separate ways and I now understand what they meant.
In High School, you make promises which now seem like just words you said to each other to reassure one another for the future when really it doesn't mean a thing. I know that that's harsh but really I am being realistic. Maybe one day we might catch up again and reminisce on the good old days.
Don't get me wrong, you often do stay close or keep contact with one or two people and they would often be your best friends but that friendship group you thought was inseparable will easily be broken.
Has any of you gone through a similar friendship break up? Was finishing high school a big step for you? Let me know!
Lots of Love, Karine xx
