The Ugly Truth

When I was younger I had the mindset that I knew everything, that nothing in this world could stop me from doing anything.
That everyone that said they were going to be there for me forever, I believed them.
And had my hopes up that I was going to have these friends for the rest of my life.
But when I grew older I realized, it isn't what it seems.
People lie to your face, talk about you behind your back, your boyfriend cheats on you with your best friend.
And the circle of friends you once had, turned into one or two friends you can trust, but you couldn't fully trust them without the risk deep down in your heart of becoming hurt.
Because it had happened numerous amount of times, and you finally learn that you can't trust anyone, not family, not friends, not even yourself at times.
Life is a beautiful thing, but it is not to be spent alone, it is to be shared with the ones you love and trust. Pick them wisely or you could become hurt in the snap of a finger, the blink of an eye.
And that sadly, is the ugly truth.
