"Some people are meant to come into your life for a lifetime, some for only a season and you got to know which is which. And you're always messing up when you mix those seasonal people up with lifetime expectations.I put everybody that comes into my life in the category of a tree. Some people are like leaves on a tree. When the wind blows, they're over there... wind blow that way they over here... they're unstable. When the seasons change they wither and die, they're gone. That's alright. Most people are like that, they're not there to do anything but take from the tree and give shade every now and then. That's all they can do. But don't get mad at people like that, that's who they are. That's all they were put on this earth to be. A leaf.
The topic of today's blog: friendship
So we all somewhat knew that the company we keep are not necessarily people we can call our friends. But shit what about the people we call our friends? Leaving high school has been a rude ass awakening! But I am 100% thankful for it. I knew going in to high school that many of the people I associated myself with were temporary. So I kept to the people I knew best, the friends with mileage. But sad to say they aint much different. Now these are the people I got history with. The same people with whom dozens of championship games were played, blunts were smoked, sleepovers were slept, laughs were laughed, and memories of a lifetime were made.
YET, none of it matters. That bitch who's ass you covered when her mom found out where she really was last night, is the same bitch ignoring your SOS text messages and phone calls explaining how your car broke down on the 210 west and you dont know who else to call. And that one nigga you've gone broke for on countless occasions, willingly endured sleepless nights for because he couldn't sleep or needed to talk, and whose back you've had since the begining, is the same nigga who wants to act brand new because your life no longer revolves around them at every snap of their fingers.
I've come to learn a thing or two about friendship! We as people tend to equate familiarity with friendship and this is a BIG mistake. This common misconception is what leads people to believe they can rely on people they can't or confide in people that cant be trusted.
So they say "be careful who you call your friends". Well I say call them whatever the fuck you want. Just know who's got your back!
