A day in the life of @shrekandbarrybee...

Hey everyone. Sorry for my absence, I'm not sure if anybody reads these anyway but I'm gonna be trying to write more. Today's story isn't a funny one but I felt like writing something different today. This isn't about anyone or any specific event, its not stupid tea or drama, it's just something I've learned. It's not something that's brought up enough and I wish I'd known it earlier.
For anyone who needs it:

Don't let your friends control you. Even if it's your best friend, it doesn't matter. Live your own life. Don't live to have people tell you what to do and have a say in everything in your life, such as your other friends and your decisions. Live to make your own choices, friends, mistakes, and so on. If someone threatens they will stop being your friend if you don't ditch one of your other friends, don't do it. If you know that person they want you to ditch is good at heart you shouldn't leave them for someone who's trying to control you. Let them get angry, at the end of the day you'll know you did the right thing. If you want to switch lunch tables, switch lunch tables, and if someone gets mad then it's not your problem. You have the right to want a change, and to venture out. No one has the right to stop you. If your friend gets mad at you because you want to date somebody, and you actually like this person and believe they're right for you, don't let that friend stop you from finding your happiness.

If you stop being someone's friend, and you constantly talk bad about them and warn others about them, then you're most likely the one in fault and you're not cool if you think ruining someone's reputation is gonna benefit you in any way. Don't be afraid to talk to someone about it, but don't try to ruin your ex friends reputation in the process. When someone thinks they're right, but deep down they know they're wrong, they'll try to get everyone against you, so don't be that person. Spend your life caring about your current friends, caring about your own life, and focusing on having fun. Rather than spend your life caring about ruining someone's reputation. Show them you're just fine without them, and there is no more needed to do.

You're not a possession. Be friends with whoever you want, love whoever you want, if people are going to try to force you to stop doing things that make you happy then they're not worth it. If they dedicate their life to bringing you down, talking bad about you, and turning your friends against you, then they're not worth it. It's easier said than done to not worry about them, or forget about them, but don't let them control you even if they're gone from your life and try to find happiness elsewhere. Don't let people trap you and force you to stay in one little friend group, you are certainly allowed to have more than one friend group. You aren't entitled to having only one best friend, you can have as many as you want and don't let anyone try to tell you you can't. Real best friends don't take their possessiveness, if any, out on you or anybody.

Don't let anybody ruin your life, and don't ruin anybody else's life. Live to make decisions for yourself and don't let yourself be treated like a doormat. Don't get caught up in trying to ruin someone's life, or you'll end up ruining yours eventually. Don't let people control you and let people control their own selves. I don't know why I'm exactly writing this but I know it's hard to realize these things, especially when you have been used to being walked over your whole life. Be happy and don't let someone take that away. Be a good person and don't take away other peoples opportunities to find happiness.
