I am leaving a note for the future from the 21st century.
Humanity becomes an accomplice by merely watching the slaughter of innocent children in Gaza and Palestine. Silence and inaction have turned into the darkest, most immoral, and most heartless reality of the 21st century.

Do not assume that anyone who is always by your side is truly your friend. Time is the harshest teacher, revealing the real faces of people. At first, they are with you; in joyful moments, in your successes, in laughter… But life is like a cycle; storms, losses, and tests arrive. It is then that you see who truly stands by you. Over time, friends disappear some quietly drift away, while others follow only their own interests.

And you, often without realizing it, find yourself alone. But loneliness is not something to fear; on the contrary, it gives you the chance to understand your own worth, who you really are, and which relationships are genuine. Sometimes the deepest bonds are tested; some friends only share moments, while others support you in hard times. True friendship is not measured only by presence; it is measured by thinking of you in your absence, by standing for you, by understanding you.

So be careful do not be deceived by every laugh or every “my friend” calling. People change, life changes. But do not lose your loyalty to yourself, your own values. Over time, those who remain in your life are the ones who truly care, and in that moment, you will realize the value of those who are really there. Loneliness will show you how instructive life can be.

Accept the harsh side of life, because true friendship is never easily earned; it emerges over time, through trials, and sometimes through the cracks in your heart. Understanding that not everyone by your side is a friend is the truest path to growing, maturing, and staying loyal to yourself.
