How many people in your life have sticked around?

I've made slot of new friends lately and it is true most will leave you eventually. Not because life is bad or anything, but it's just a part of life, I find, that the very best, most inspiring people I've ever met, are only in my life for a short while. The best part is that the older you get the more amazing the people are. Sometimes life just pulls people in opposite directions. Sometimes people get to busy and pay more attention to older friends, doesn't mean they live or care for you any less though. We are all guilty of it, so try to look at it through a different set of eyes, cherish every moment with the people in your life, encourage them, and let them know how thankful you are to have them in your life. Trying to remain contact with certain individuals is hard as well. And I completely understand the " putting in most the effort" feeling. I too, feel that way sometimes, I just look at it as I'm a great person and I CHOOSE the people I want in my life and put serious effort into getting to know people, it takes away the feeling of "I screwed it up" if somebody doesn't want to be my friend I just see it as their loss and ultimately I know I did my part to become a great friend. I don't know if this helps at all. But it's normal to feel like a lot of people just leave you in the end and it's unfortunate but it's a fact of life....but it doesn't have to be a sad fact. Perhaps change how you view the fact. Like me, I know the best people I've ever met has had to move on with their life and I still hold them close inside me , and time from time we still talk. I hope this has helped in some way.

To answer your question, no one has stuck around in my life.
