Friends help... or do they...?

It's hard enough finding great friends, it's way more difficult keeping the ones you've found. It's clearly life that gets in the way, but the question is do you keep giving those whom you love, an excuse to be the crappiest friend in your life??



Every story out there has got black, white and grey shades to it. There's no hard question to ask yourself or ask them. Neither is there a simple questionnaire to a successful friendship.

Some friendships wean out, others break up right in front your eyes, a few go out with a bang and just a few last a lifetime... I've experienced them all...

Is it purely about give and take?
They say true friends give! give!! and GIVE!! and don't expect anything in return... But let's be honest! We're human! And we expect something from any relationship. With so many hardships and celebrations to be encountered we expect our friends to support us when we're down and party with us when there's booze around. Whether it's a good bra or jock strap, we all need the support... The one thing that's definite is our sorrows...
 
So the question is "Are they around when you need them?"

No friendship is selfless, except for that which we share with our parents. There may be exceptions with regard to that statement, but I do thank GOD everyday for not being one of those exceptions. Back to the topic... I've found that people who only remember you when things are grim! Are clearly a part of your crap circle! It's like a constant flow of bull shit with no end. I suggest you throw some shit back.
 
You deserve to be treated right!
 
Does drama follow as well? That's probably the worst thing to have in your life. It's way too much stress and a lot of immaturity to entertain on a daily basis. I have encountered so many of these situations and have at times blamed myself. But the thing is, you can't cause drama by yourself. You need someone else to play a part in it. The world is after all your stage, you can't bring down the curtain all by yourself.  If you're the crappy mate, you deserve a bitch slap. If you can't reason with them, just leave them behind. You got to!! If you can't, then you need a psych consultation!
If you're not being treated with respect and considered the way you're suppose to, there's something wrong! CUZ you MATTER! Which begs the question...
 
"Whom are you befriending?"
 

Everybody doesn't have to love YOU.
YOU don't have to love everybody.
It takes guts to tell people off, especially the ones that deserve it!
 
You're friendship is truly valuable and not everyone you meet deserves it.
Crappy baboons deserve one another...
Humble lambs, well I have no clue what they do!
You may not be able to change everyone, Dats okie!
It's not your job.
Everyone of us are the company we keep.
Sometimes you need to stop and take a look at those whom you associate.
So once in a while you do need to do some spring cleaning...
If you can't do the cleaning in person, just delete them on Facebook...
Effective but cowardice....
