Think about what you were saying when they used to talk to you. Think about your choice of words and tone. Think about why they tried to come to you and why they don’t anymore. When you shut them out, belittle them, and blame them for all of their problems, you will lose them. And that will be permanent.

I’ll never regret being loyal, even if it was wasted on the wrong people. I’ll never regret it. I’m me. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I really can be naive at times and believe everyone has the same heart and intentions as me. And if I’m wrong, that’s okay because you can’t be right all the time. People are just people. Regardless of what I’m knocked with, I still wish the best for those who came and left. I truly do. I actually have no space in my heart to hate anyone.

Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow.
Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.Never tell yourself you missed your chance.
Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.
You can do it. Whatever it is.
