\t\t\t\tThere comes a point in your life where you might have to do a friends purge.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re the type of person who never has to do that because you\u2019ve made really good decisions about choosing who you want in your life, then that\u2019s awesome. I hope that there are more people like you in the world because it\u2019s a really emotional time, but I’ve met multiple people who keep these people around because they felt like they’ve invested too much into the “friendship.”<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a normal human being, chances are you\u2019ve made mistakes and you\u2019ve picked out some bad influences to be your ride or die. And as a normal human being, maybe you still let that person into your life because you can forgive.<\/p>\n

But remember, they say that a person is a product of the 5 people they surround themselves with, so\u2026 with that being said, take a good look at who you surround yourself with and that\u2019s what you are.<\/p>\n

I was always told that my best friends would come from college and I had some fun times in college, but I had to cut out the people who stayed in college party mode. It\u2019s totally fine if that\u2019s what you want, but the thing is that I didn\u2019t. I wanted to work towards having a career in writing or marketing instead of living off of tips forever, so I shifted my group of friends and after a lot of patience and hard work, here I am\u2026 giving advice to people who have yet to learn the lessons of adulthood.<\/p>\n

Choosing your friends wisely doesn\u2019t mean that you have to cut people out just based on career goals, it could even be related to happiness and supporting you as a friend with unconditional love.<\/p>\n

If someone is always trying to be better than you or is constantly putting you down, or better yet judging you for everything that you do, that is not a good person. He\/she is going to stunt your growth and you\u2019ll never be able to achieve the things that you want with that negativity in your life. I am all for being realistic, but I\u2019d rather have someone who is positive than someone who is constantly shutting down my ideas before listening to them.<\/p>\n

This could also apply to you! Do you have a friend who brings out the worst in you? Do you turn into a green monster of jealousy and you can never be happy for that person? Do you always judge them on everything that they post on Facebook or Instagram?<\/p>\n

Then you need to cut them out of your life because you\u2019re not doing them any good!<\/p>\n

This situation applies to so many people of all walks of life and it\u2019s hard, but trust me\u2026 only good can come out in the long run.<\/p>\n
