Accepting the truth

Many of my posts will be inspired by my friends but based on my experiences.

During my freshman year of high school, I started dating a senior. He was so popular and very cute. We decided to keep our relationship a secret because he had convinced me I did not want people in my business.

After a couple of months of "courting" which included no contact in school, I was talking to his best friend one day and he told me I needed to let it go. I was confused and tried to question him about his random statement with no success. It was not until my senior year in high school that I understood the importance of what have occurred between my boyfriend's at the time best friend and me. He had broke the secret code between friends to give me the truth. Unfortunately, I did not want to accept it or maybe I was to immature at the time to comprehend.

Looking back on the situation, it was obvious before I was given advice from the best friend that my boyfriend was not interested. He was simply doing and telling me enough to keep me hanging around. Later on in the school year, I learned he had another girlfriend at a different school. One who all his friends knew and was constantly being introduced to his family. And...she was a senior in high school as well.

When the calls are always late at night or become less and less to the point there is only texting, that is apart of the truth. When the routine that was normally followed changes, that is apart of the truth. When a break is decided on for whatever reason given, that is apart of the truth.

In life we are given clues about the one we are dating from the people closest to them. Whether it is the best friend or the mom saying I know my best friend or son. I figured it out in this situation a few years later...kinda. I hope from this experience I can accept the truth in the next.
