A Hard Lesson Learned : #blogeverydayinfeb

Yesterday and Today's blog posts are getting deep ... yesterday, I was talking about my dreams and goals, and today I'm talking about a hard lesson learned. But, with this said, I'm glad that I get to participate in such a fun challenge! 
Trying to come up with a hard lesson learned is harder than I thought. Not trying to say I haven't learned a lesson. Because I have. (trust me) I've learned lessons about friends, my family, my faith, and quite a few other things.
I've had quite an adventure with friends, learning who my true ones are and what kinds of qualities I want in a friend. Transitioning from middle to high school was quite an adjustment because I don't see the same people all the time. It may be the same campus, but it feels much more spread out. 
I had been sitting with the same group of girls for 3 years, and a few of us felt like it was time for a change, to branch out, and just meet some new girls. I joined a new table, but for some reason, it just didn't click with me, I wasn't feeling "at home". 
After a month or two of trying, I branched off from that group with 2 of my girlfriends, and started (finally) feeling like we were home. We have a small group of about six girls, but it's honestly the best group. We have enough girls to have a fun Friday night, and not too many where it's a hassle to get us all together. 
The Lesson I Learned? I finally learned what it felt like to have the best group of girls after a few months of struggling. I had to pray quite a few times, had to trust that it would just all work out in the end - and I am so glad that it did. I could't be more thankful for my girls, as they pick me up when I am having a rough day, make me laugh until I'm crying, and let me talk for hours when I need to vent. 
Faith is a big component. It's all in my head and I can't begin to write it all. It's been tough, as freshman year has been kicking my butt and I (sometimes) can't see the purpose in everything, but I know there is one. 
What's your "hard lesson learned"?
