What I've learned today:

Am I upset? no. 
Am I annoyed? no.
Am I sad? no.
Am I disapointes? no.

Today I learned that I can be okay with the fact that sometimes people will mess with you. It's hard to find a genuine friend, and I've come to be a good recognizer of who these rare pearls are. While other friends, who may be fun to be around and interesting to talk too, may not be as real. But that's okay. People are always wearing social masks, sometimes I truly believe some don't even know they're wearing a mask but truth has always a funny way of peak-a-booing when you least expect it.

I had such a peak-a-boo moment today and much was revealed, a part of me wasn't surprised but still I sat in front of my email that I had just received, my mouth wide open in astonishment. I suppose it was an "OMG! She just got caught her pants down" kind of way moment. While I didn't appreciate being deceived (nothing unforgivable) I was okay with it. 

What I learned today is not everyone around you is honest, sometimes people can be manipulative, and sometimes innocently stupid the way they deal with a situation or they simply make a mistake. The important thing isn't what this whole thing is about, rather that I was okay with it. 

Perhaps it is because I've come to know who and what I am and I am at a place in my life where drama no longer has any power on me. So at the end of the day, we will still be friends, but my eyes have opened and revealed some shady colors. I now know my true friends, the everyday friends, the now and then friends, the distant friends and the so-called friends. 

They all have their place in my life.  And it's all Okay!

Yeah, you are right, Natalie.
There is a lot of insincerity in the world and definitely many people do wear masks.
And the thing I've learn is more I tell truth and treat to others sincerely, the more others treat to me sincerely as well. It's like the magic!
So, "Change yourself first" motto is working here 100%!

You are right Natalie! There are all kinds of friends in our life. I also have people in my life with whom I have my eyes open, cause I know they could do some evil. There is no reason in changing your friends and it is hardly possible. It is much better to take them as they are.
