Old friend messaged me

So today was nice I hanged out with my sister her partner and my niece at my dad's house. Then my aunty came over it was nice we had Christmas lunch. Then we opened presents at mum's house Alana opened all the presents lol cheeky! Then I went on Instagram and I got a message from Ben he said merry Christmas and I said merry Christmas and a happy new year. I'd say it has been a few months since will I stopped talking to him. I don't know what to do but what I feel is I wasnt that happy talking to him. It came like a flood really with all the times he broke my trust. Well anyway he told me he has problems with his bowels getting tested for cancer I said oh that sucks I'm sorry. Well anyway, I just realized something during all this time not speaking to him. I realized what kind of people I wanted to spend time with. As they say that the people's you hang around can influence you. If there's anything I can say about Tafe is that I'm a likeable person who is actually a lot better at communicating then I once gave myself credit for. Well anyway, I realized I didn't want to be around negative people that didn't try to make there lives better. Now, I know that's harsh I can be real negative with my sad poetry but like I've finished that faze and I made friends at tafe. I completed my course I'm very well on the path of self confidence, interpendence and self sufficiency. I don't want to go back to bad habits and feeling like I was shrinking myself to keep another person warm. I know this sounds harsh but I feel like I've outgrown that friendship and the only way I can remain my true self is to not return to that friendship. Continue on with the people that make life more interesting and leave people who lack integrity behind. I just been to upset and abused by men to go back to having my trust broken and I say no to that!

I think you have a very good attitude. It will serve you well in life.

Good for you!
