No one tells you "Oh life will be so easy when you graduate high school!" or "Pssh, its a piece of cake". The truth is, life is hard, relationships are hard, being financially stable is hard, heck, even maintaining relationships with people you've known your entire life can be hard.
All of these things take an enormous amount of responsibility to manage and without proper guidance, they can fall apart much MUCH quicker than you might believe possible.
"BE CAREFUL"...Is all I have to say to you. Don't let yourself get disconnected or so absorbed in whatever struggle you're going through that you lose touch with those around you and/or the ability to see what really matters in life. Did you know that the people in your life, whether they be friends, family, loved ones, etc, are there for you? That includes the tough parts of life. The trials. There are so many. SO many....you think its overwhelming? It can always be worse. Be thankful its not. And be thankful you have people around you to help you get through everything.
If you think you DON'T have anyone, look around you. Make a mental list of people who have been in your life the longest. Can you trust them? If not, why? Its time to start trusting someone and those people are your best bet. Approach them. Tell them you need help with something you're struggling with. The rest falls into place.
This post is pretty much a rant and I'm only kind of sorry for it being so harsh. Sometimes people just need to hear things this way.
I hope someone got something positive from this. If there is any one thing I would want someone to get out of it...it would be this: DON'T GIVE UP and don't be afraid to learn. Question everything but know what you believe and why.
That is all.
A Reborn.
