Love & Friends, Beginnings & Ends.

"Never make someone your everything. Cause when they're gone, you'll have nothing."

This quote really just stuck in my head today. Why? It's simple. Last night i realized so much and this quote was a big part of my thoughts. I don't think this quote is talking just about love. I think it has an even deeper meaning. I think it's talking about friends and even crushes. I have a pretty good reasoning for this and hopefully I'll be able to get my point across.

Friends: At one point in my life, I had one really good friend. Most of you know that would be Tiffany. Now, when we got into stupid arguments and weren't friends for a while, this quote was exactly correct on my life. Because I made her my "everything" friend, which meant when she wasn't my friend i didn't have anything. Point being, have more friends that you can fall back on just in case something terrible happens such as a broken friendship. You'll always need somebody, no matter what you say.

Crushes: Yeah, this kinda goes back to what I said earlier. But this is what I was mainly thinking about yesterday when I remembered this quote. I got to see someone that is really important to me. He's always been a friend and at one time or another, I've had feelings for him. I know nothing will ever happen between us, but those feelings come back quite often. Especially when I'm around him and remember what made me like him so much before. But...

To the real point of the crush thing: Don't ever like one person so much that you forget about all the other people you still have small crushes for. I've done that many times and it's always ended up that I've had nothing. If you make that crush everything, then if it doesn't work out, you have nothing. Simply put. It's not a problem to like more than one person at a time or to have crushes on some people. Because, you don't have any of them right now anyway. And if things go bad with one, then you still have hope it could work out with one of the others. You see,  I do that alot. I start liking one guy and turn around and forget about the guy(s) that I liked before. You can't just stop liking someone in a day. It doesn't work that way. There's one guy that I like a bunch, but I refuse to make him a priority because I don't wanna live thru this quote again and I don't want to get my hopes up for nothing. And I do still have a small crush on someone from my past. It's nothing major and it never was. But I do have these little crushes. Because I've found a few good guys that any girl would be lucky to have. And I don't see the point in just forgetting about them. I'm not in a relationship so there's no problem with having a crush on more than one person. But I can tell you that I only really "like" one person. Liking someone is a different feeling than having a crush on someone. At least to me it is. A crush is just when you like being around someone and have fun or whatnot. If they didn't like you back, you'd bounce back pretty fast. Liking someone to me is when you like everything about them, even the things that drive you crazy. When you don't really care about those crushes anymore and they kinda disappear from your thoughts most of the time. It's when you want to spend as much time with them as possible. and you want to help them anyway you can. Idk if that made any sense, but that's about as good as I can explain it.

But overall, Just never make anyone your everything. No matter who they are: Family, Friends, Loves. It doesn't matter. You gotta learn how to make you the most important person in your life. You gotta do what's right for you and nobody else. :)
