Ok. So this is what it do. Every once and a while, you gotta vent… know that this is out of love, reflection, and introspection.
Last time I checked, the friendSHIP sails both ways. Forgive me for trying to be a friend, but you cannot expect me to detach myself from caring about your well-being because you want to… “make your own mistakes.” I know that I am not your father… but hell, if I was going down a thorny path with a spring in my step, I’d expect you to do more than just “let me make my own mistakes.” You feel me? So forgive me for caring, but when I stop, so might our friendship.
At times, trials and tribulations exceed my jubilation, and I often find myself in a spiral of outside induced depression all because I tried, to care about somebody other than myself. And for what? For why did I do it? Like the old song says, “If I can helllp somebody… “ But maybe I need to rethink that…
I try to surround myself with people who bring more light than heat, and I will no longer settle for seniority. Just because I have known you from jump, does not make you a better friend. Let me say that again… Just because I have known you from jump… does not make YOU… a better friend. Just be cause we go back to more than yesterday does not mean we have an alliance. It’s a new day, and as I write this I vow to seek the peace for myself that comes from caring about more than myself, and having that care reciprocated.
What are you doing for you? What are you values? What are your goals?
Identify the Obstacles.
Take ‘em out.
…Seek Peace…

You know....THANK YOU for this. I recently had a friend get ALL upset with me because I classified someone else as my best friend instead of her. She was like "but we've known each other since Junior High." In my mind I was like YES I know but what the heck does that have to do with us being close. Now, I will say she is one of my good friends because I care about her but she does not KNOW me. Especially after spending so much time apart and college life. I mean people change...I've changed and I'm sorry if I know people better than I know you. If you don't take the time to make a friendship stronger and talk about something more than just idle nonsense than I'm sorry if I don't want to spend all of my time chatting it up with you. Case closed....just leaving some love...Baiyina
