Some People Are Just Lessons

Not everyone you consider a friend considers you the same way. Some people only keep you around when it’s convenient. Some only remember you when they need something. And some quietly disappear the moment you stop giving more than you receive. It hurts realizing that the loyalty, effort, and care you gave were not equally valued. But life teaches you something important: real friendship never feels one-sided. The right people will check on you, support you, and appreciate your presence without making you question where you stand. Not every connection is genuine, and that’s okay. Some people are lessons, not lifelong friends.
