EXPERIENCE

                                                A LIFE STORY WORTH TELLING

It's usually a long road down through life;  we all get a fair share of Life's experiences ... 

Let me take you through a real life experience of a girl who learnt to "GROW UP"- 

She was a young teenager who got to know more than she could handle at an early stage of her life. She grew up in a home where there was love and care, caution and focus. It was all going well for her till she met these set of friends who  changed her perception of Life. 

       When it all started, she would lie to herself that she was not following their ways. She would always try to look like a self righteous person in public, and secretly do as they please in secret... For her she was living the life, but for them, she was one of their materials of change. She became who she was not, and indulged in drinking, clubbing and immoral acts. It became so frequent that she was best known as the girl who drinks much and still stands on her two feet.

Her friends always had her back, she thought, which made her go all out for them. She was ready to skip classes to be with the "close friends" or let me put it in  her own words "brothers". 

Who wouldn't be friends with them, they had all the qualities of a good friend that could be visible. No doubt they were fun to be with, they posed as friends you could confide in, they were always there when she wanted to talk (raw talks), they took her out (clubbing, drinking) when she claimed to be bored. But they never asked about her future plans.

She got to do the thinking , talking ,convincing and decisions on her own. 

Yes it's her responsibility but the truth is, along the line, She got to discover herself. she got to discover the kind of people in life, through a message:

The 3 kinds of people in your life

1) CONFIDANTS: they are very few.....they are those people who love you unconditionally; whether you are up or down, right or wrong, they are in for the long hold. you can share anything with them, they will tell you when you are wrong or rightYOU HAVE TO HAVE A CONFIDANT TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION2) CONSTITUENTS: They are not into you, they are into what you are for..never think that they are for you, never think they are for you...if you are not careful, you will mistake your constituent for your confidant, because they are only for what you are for
3) COMRADES:They are against what you are against...they will team up with you to help fight a greater enemy... then when you are through they leave you

note: expect the CONSTITUENTS AND COMRADES, to leave you and desert you after a while...dont be angry when they do not react to your dream as you expected them to, because they were never really for you in the first place..BE CAREFUL WHO YOU SHARE YOUR DREAMS TO, because if you tell your dream to your CONSTITUENT, they will desert you and try to fulfil the dream without you..
If you tell it to your COMRADES, they wont support you because they were never FOR what you were FOR anyway

YOUR CONFIDANT will forever be ready to take the rejoicing and the hard times for you

She then thought, she wasn't on the same page with her friends, she could see them as friends, but the part they play is far more different from her goals and aspirations in life .

The clock was ticking...
