Hanging out with people is like sharing secrets while each secret is from someone's heart. At other times we might go the distance, showing that we can be trusted and that we are kind, but not all people value this openness.

This is not our last chance to say: 'Dear friend, please believe me!' We are ready to admit that we made a mistake and are willing to repent.

It is very crucial to be cautious about whom we reveal our true feelings to. It is not so for every one of our fellow humans that they deserve to be treated with kindness all the time, nor is it for everyone that we could extend our trust.

Trust is tender; once it is broken, it is very difficult to fix. Thus, it is my opinion that let's pick and choose whom we provide our efforts for.

Relations shouldn’t be only a one-way transfer, they should be two-way relations, with giving and taking sincerely.

Love isn't about the imposition or the expectation of things; it's about the cherishing and the appreciation of each other.

To say that a person's character is who they are isn't an overstatement. When we are kind, we become friends with real friends who are always by our side. Then lies will catch up to us and we'll be among others whom we cannot share our struggles.

Don't forget that true or real love and friendship are enriched. Cherish those who truly love you and don't waste your time, energy, and emotion on those who don't.

Don't make it complex at all and just be true to yourself and you will see the level of happiness you always wanted in your relationships.

Thank you for reading!
