7.125 billion

7.125 billion. That's how many people are living in this world today. And what do us humans do? Worry about what a small handle full thinks of us. 7.125 billion. The amount of faces you are able to meet, fall in love with, laugh with, make memories with. Stop worrying about your ex-best friend who is living in a different state and wont even give you the time of day anymore. Stop getting worked up over the boy you called you pretty but then started dating another girl. Stop worrying about the random person who pumped into in the street and didn’t say excuse me. Stop worrying about the family members that don’t act like you’re their family. There is 7.125 billion people in this world. Relationships can be built from any one of these people, so stop worrying about the people who won’t even bother to check if you’re doing okay. A fresh start is what we all need. They say college gives you that. But who are they kidding, people aren’t matured all the way yet. The great thing about college though is that you don’t have to stay with the same people you met in the beginning. You can leave and meet whoever you want. You laughed, you cried, you smiled, and you say goodbye. You move on. If the people you call your best friends are constantly bringing you down, and dimming your light, drop them. They are no good for your pure and innocent soul. We all make mistakes, but if they continue to purposely hurt you, they will not benefit your life in any way. There are 7.125 billion people alive at this moment, I bet you can find another best friend within minutes and make the same amount of memories. Find people who bring you up, who encourage you to be the best of yourself, who give you constructive criticism because they care, who don't betray you, who love you for YOU, who aren’t judgmental and envious. Find people with a heart of gold, a love for Jesus, and a smile that radiates like the sun. Give up on the people who are wicked towards you, they are battling their own problems of egotism and scorn in their heart which you don't have the time or energy to deal with. What they say about you is nothing personal if you are true to yourself. Surround yourself with love, peace, and positivity. It will get you a long way. Worry about yourself for once. Put yourself first. Take care of your personal needs. You are just as important as that person who gets an immense amount of likes on instagram. Live for yourself. Love yourself. Be yourself. This is the first step in letting another person enter your life. 7.125 billion people in this world. Don’t give yourself to the wrong people, you have a lot to choose from.
