Good morning everyone you're welcome to my blog today.
The people we lose in life and the people we win with,I believe this topic relates to each and everyone of us on this platform in different ways because we have had people in our life that are not there anymore because of one incident or the other that might have happened along the line.
This brings us to this week's prompt #theinkwell and the topic is (YOU WIN SOME YOU LOSE SOME) so back to my primary school days I used to have a girlfriend call the Becky ,Becky and I we are very good friends we practically did everything together ,we read together ,we ate together, she knew my parents and her mom also knows my mom they became best of friends.
Our friendship blossomed into a very beautiful thing that lasted down to our secondary school days and then we share dreams of attending the same university and creating so many memories together but you know how life can be, our plans got disrupted I got admission before her and entered school I spent 2 years already in school before she got admission into the same school.
So all this way that I've been in school , our communication actually dwindled and it was less frequent we didn't really get to know what was was happening in each other's life or talk over the phone like we used to do, so I had no idea that she had gotten admission into school .
While coming back from lectures I bumped into her and she acted like she didn't know who I was she wasn't happy to see me she didn't even wait to hug me and maybe ask for my number , so we can reconnect I tried reaching out a couple of times but it wasn't working so I knew that it was time to let go of that friendship and I did that I decided to let her and continue with my life and make new friends.
So it's okay to outgrow people ,yes it is most times for your own peace and sanity you need to let some people go. If I had decided to tie my happiness around what happened when I saw her after 2 years I would have been a very sad girl after then yes it hurt me deeply by , but i decided to leave past it and live my life in the best way possible.
And so many years after leaving school my graduated and I believe she had graduated too I also running to another similar situation where I had to either win a friend or lose a friend and what happened this time might sound funny but I'll still share it here.
I have always had to good friends and their names are Elizabeth and confidence we have been good friends for a very long time they're having been serious issue or rift between us recently likes happening and some things changed.
The friendship between Elizabeth and I and confidence has blossomed into something really beautiful over the years and when I had the s issue with lossing my girlfriend Becky , they were there to comfort me and help me move on from it.
Little did I know that I was going to be struggling with the same thing between my two friends it was indeed, Elizabeth was dating confidence brother and the relationship has lasted for up 5 years and still counting and all of a sudden he got tired of the relationship and decided to ghost her or break up with her .
And then confidence has been the one feeding her brother with a lot of negativities about Elizabeth that lead to the break and these are secrets that Elizabeth share with confidence as a friend she trusted so much.
So this caused a rift between the two of them and I was automatically dragged into against my better judgement I asked Lizzy and confidence to arrange a meeting a talk things out between themselves.
Confidence was not willing to talk things out and I had a lot of things going on with me at the moment to pay much attention to my girlfriend Elizabeth and confidence. And finally when I reached out to her she was so angry that I was there for her when she needed me .
And at that point we reconnected and confidence wasn't still willing to make peace it was a situation where we would either lose confidence or win her over and amend our friendship. But unfortunately confidence never came back. And most times in life we either win or lose and for me friendship means a lot to me . But you either lose or win sometimes in friendship not everyone is here to stay.
This is my entry for Theinkwell weekly prompt.
