The People In Your Life...

I used to have tons of friends, who I honestly thought I'd be friends with forever. I know, what a dumb little girl I was. But I thought it was a good thing, I thought the amount of friends I had showed some sort of status, I thought it made me...special? Of course I was wrong. When you go through things in life, you come to the realization of who your real friends are. You know that cheesy saying "through thick and thin" well your actual FRIENDS stick around "through thick and thin" and the phony's just disappear. 

I've come to the point in my life where I seriously don't trust anyone and feel that people need to prove themselves to me. Why? Because people are shady and have taken advantage of me being too nice. I refuse to just let anyone be in my life, being my friend is a privilege. I feel I treat my friends very well, they see it and I see it. The people that are now in my life are ones I can see staying in my life forever and they know who they are. I don't like to have people in my life that I feel are useless, you need to be going somewhere or at least trying to. I believe that the people you surround yourself with are a reflection on you. If my friends are going places and being productive, it makes me want to work hard and be productive so I'm not left behind. If my friends are lazy, get drunk every weekend and all they do is work and party, i'll probably be the same. I know and see too many people that I know wont go anywhere in life and it sounds mean for me to say that, but its the truth. If your not doing anything in life and you have no one in your life to motivate you, well you wont go far. You become like the people you hang out with and vice versa.

BUT ANYWAYS...the whole point of this post is to basically say, friends come and go, the real ones stick around and choose your friends wisely.
