• Friends

  Prior to the last post, I thought today was a great day but I didn't realise it would turn out to be this way. A bummer a disappointment a depressing state whatever you call it... I just can't trust anyone anymore. Or can you trust me? Have I been influenced by the words of others that I start judging them based on what I hear? Or have you been influenced by the words of others and start judging people based on what you hear? Have I or have you been influenced by the words of someone else and you start changing impressions of that very person just because his/her standards have failed those of what you have for them... And that gives you the excuse to exile and face them your cold shoulder?
  
  Because if you're truly a friend to that very someone, will you judge your friend so quickly that you lack the quickness to listen and actually find out the truth for yourself. Or will you choose to just go ahead with the words, your words off your tongue and bring about some 'ground-breaking change' and discovery as you label it, to which everyone runs towards you grasping and craving for a little taste of it, and you never really thinking twice about the consequences your actions have on your dear friends. Then that leads me to question, what kind of friend are you?
  
  If you've sticked through thick and thin together with a friend of 4 years or more, maybe for a lifetime. You spend all that time with your very own friend, all with the mission of 'making him/her happy", which come to think of it, should be the base of all friendships, then will you let all the effort your friend has placed in building the friendship be drained by what others say of him/her. Will you then start judging them like never before? Do you really mean what you say when you tell your friend 'our friendship lasts a lifetime', if you're on the verge of telling them off and giving them the cold shoulder? When guess what, you've never even bothered to find out the truth about things yourself.
  
  It's fine- in fact it's perfect that these circumstances and obstacles come once in awhile, 'cause it gives you thought as to who your true friends are, and friends who are just... well, 'fiends in cover'? We all need reality checks like these once in awhile, and yea we should be thankful 'cause then we begin to learn to cherish those around us who truly care for us. So do you consider yourself a true friend to your friends? They're your friends, don't disappoint them. Because real friends don't tear you down, they build you up.
