Losing a friend is never easy. Parting ways with these relationships can shift your entire well-being. However, ending these friendships can sometimes be a good thing. I think we should all take the time to declutter our lives, and this process pertains to more than just material things. These are the top 3 things that I have learned as a result of losing close friends... Hurt people do just that; HURT PEOPLE. I had to learn this one the hard way. When someone isn't happy with themselves, there is no possible way for them to be happy for other people. The negative things that they choose to believe about themselves are constantly reflected in the way that they speak and act towards you.

Growing up in a traditional Caribbean household didn't give me the most open outlet for my feelings. My parents were taught that little girls must be seen, and not heard.
