My Past 9/24

My life has consisted of many life lessons. But one that comes to mind and sticks out the most was last year or actually, pretty recent. I was in a bit of a jam with some girl and for some reason I put her before family and friends. I would sneak out and do things that my mother would not like. When I was with my friends I would ditch them to hang out with her and then i would also lie to my mom and tell her I was somewhere else. So eventually, it got to the point where i had lost all trust with my mom and some of my friends. Once I started to become more relaxed and realize that a girl is not as important as family, or any friend. When it had gotten to that point, I stopped talking to the girl and started to spend more time with my friends and try to not be involved with all of the drama that surrounded it. Now, the reason I say that I am still learning the lesson is because of people I see today. I see people with their girlfriends or that are involved in drama and then I just ask myself like, why? Why must people be involved with something that doesn't make them happy? I'm sure that it may have its positives. But right here, right now all I know is that in the end my friends and family will always be here to make me happy.
