What's in a friend? Someone who's always there for you, right? Someone who can take the sun and throw it on you when it's raining on your face? Friends are amazing people, right?
Take it from someone who has been emotionally crippled, friends aren't the greatest people alive. They may be able to make you smile, but they're not amazing people. They always give you ups and downs. They create drama and fustration. More you care about them, more vulnerable you are from getting hurt by them. Friendship for me is a viscious cycle. A cycle in which, I try to be the ideal friend and get stabbed right in the face.
Sometimes your friends can say things to try and clear their name. They try and gain your trust again. Sometimes it's a whole lot of BS. Honestly, if they want to be your friend and try at it, words aren't enough. That's why there's something that speaks even louder for evidence called ACTIONS. If they're not going to walk the walk, they better take some soap and wash their mouths out. Example, if a friend hurt you and said that they'll never do it again, yet you know it's in habit, what do you think you should do? I believed them and did I ever get screwed over.
If you care, you care. Don't say it, show it. Is that so hard to do? Maybe we're all selfish, some more than others. Why should a friend be completely selfish and only think about themselves in the end of the day? Why does the world need to revolve around them? Why do other people need to sacrifice so much to make them feel comfortable. I'm sorry, but that's pathetic. I used to be naive but reality came and slapped be across the face countless of times.
Something else I learned, never to keep a friend accountable, because in the end, they turn their back on you and feed you to the wolves. I've been cut up and stabbed. Now I'm bleeding like I've never bled before. I'm almost dead on the inside all because of "friends". Now I know better and one day if I turn my back, you'll know why.
Lessons: Some friends just can never be trusted.
Overall: Friends suck and most of the time they'll never be there for you.
