LIFE NEVER STOPS PUTTING YOU IN A RANK

As I grow up,as I see and meet people, as I travel the world side by side, corner by corner, round and round, I get to learn that life has its own dimensions and rules. It may be hard to digest this but truth of the matter is that "LIFE HAS GOT ITS OWN RULES", and its up to you to either play along with them or completely stray your own path.

If I may throw this simple question to you... Am pretty sure you had pre school friends, primary school friends, and high school friends.. So now... Are you still friends with them? Are you still as close as you used to be back then or life just happened? Am certain that most of the answers is that "LIFE HAPPED". I won't lie to you, the a answer with me is the same of yours, "LIFE HAPPENED", and its not some sort of disgrace, or shame, its normal and it happened to a lot of homo sapiens so don't worry about it hey!

My point here is to put the idea into your minds that "LIFE HAS RULES"! Will Smith once said in a quote "Whenever I'd get an "A"in a history test or whatsoever, I'd get this good feeling about all the things I could be and I never became any of them". Same story as mine, I'd score "A" or "B' in English, History or English Literature ", and be like "YOU KNOW WHAT, LIFE ISNT THAT HARD, SOON I'LL BE OWNING A MANSION IN A MANSION", but you know what... Wait till you complete high school, just wait and see the drama that splashes more than the storm.

You may notice that your friendships change from year-to-year — the best friend you had last year may not even be in your inner circle anymore. It happens more often than you may think, and studies have been done that prove the theory that the older you get, the fewer friends you have .

One such study, "Sex differences in social focus across the life cycle in humans," published in the Royal Society Open Science journal, found that many people start decreasing their friend pool around age 25 .

They also looked at overall activity within those users' networks. If you think about it, you could do your own test and see who your top contacts are in your social media and text messages , as well as your phone call log. Chances are, you'll be surprised to see what people you talk to most now versus if you take a look at your top contacts from even a year ago, not to mention several years ago.

At times it feels like success delays us so bad you know. There comes a point in time whereby you cannot even get a scholarship for your tertiary, you cannot get a job to help you pay those tuition fees, and if you do, it doesn't pay you enough to be able to do that. You cannot even afford to buy yourself a deodorant, a cheap cologne to have that woody, floral or fresh scent, anything! Anything at all!

Truth of the matter is that "LIFE CHANGES PEOPLE "and I'll say it again... "LIFE CHANGES PEOPLE". This change varies on every individual, one could be changed by an environment, family, friends, classmates, colleagues etc. It varies. This is normal, its not weird or something. I'll make a brief example, its very rare and questionable that you are still friends with someone you had befriended in preschool or primary, maybe big school, but not preschool or primary, I personally don't take you seriously. Am sorry if that pins so bad but that's it with me!

Fact is "YOU AREN'T GROWING UP IF YOU AREN'T LOSING FRIENDS". You came to this planet alone, and at the end of the day, at the end of time, you've got to back to God alone, so why worry? One thing one has to do is to find "HAPPINESS", alone, just find something to create happiness within your soul, it shouldn't be people, no! Find something that allowes you to be honest with yourself, something that allowrs you to explore your thoughts, mind, widens your explorations and dreams, and i tell you what... It has got to be passion.
