FRIENDSHIPS AND FAKE CIRCLES
<p>Friendships in your twenties<br/></p><p>are no longer gardens watered by laughter alone,</p><p>they become forests</p><p>where only the deepest roots survive the storm.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then life whispers</p><p>what childhood never dared to say:</p><p>history is not destiny.</p><p><br/></p><p>The voices that once echoed your dreams</p><p>begin to speak a different language.</p><p>Some become bridges.</p><p>Some become walls.</p><p>Some become mirrors,</p><p>reflecting the version of you</p><p>you've already outgrown.</p><p><br/></p><p>Not every smile is sunshine.</p><p>Some smiles are beautifully wrapped shadows.</p><p>Not every applause is celebration.</p><p>Some hands clap</p><p>while the heart competes in silence.</p><p><br/></p><p>Yet,</p><p>not every goodbye has a villain.</p><p>Sometimes,</p><p>growth is a river,</p><p>and rivers do not apologize</p><p>for leaving the banks behind.</p><p><br/></p><p>So stop stitching broken threads</p><p>into garments that no longer fit.</p><p>Stop dimming your light</p><p>to comfort eyes</p><p>that have fallen in love with your darkness.</p><p><br/></p><p>For real friendship</p><p>is neither a chain nor a cage.</p><p>It is an anchor in the storm,</p><p>a lighthouse in the night,</p><p>a hand that corrects without crushing,</p><p>celebrates without envying,</p><p>and stays</p><p>when convenience has packed its bags.</p><p><br/></p><p>In your twenties,</p><p>you will discover</p><p>that love sometimes wears the face of letting go.</p><p><br/></p><p>Your circle may grow smaller,</p><p>but like gold refined by fire,</p><p>it will become stronger.</p><p><br/></p><p>So choose the souls</p><p>that water your roots,</p><p>not the weeds</p><p>that feed on your harvest.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because the people around you</p><p>are either architects of your tomorrow...</p><p><br/></p><p>or silent termites,</p><p>feeding on your future</p><p>one unnoticed bite at a time.</p><p><br/></p><p> Vicki D'Writer 🫡🖋️</p>
