Yes, a topic we can all relate to. Isn't it just amazing that at some point in our lives we feel so lucky and blessed and happy to have the perfect friends, those who are always there and form a great support system? Yes it is.
And at other points, we question our actions and motives when those very friends turn into the meanest rudest most heartbreaking monsters on the face of this earth. Really makes me wonder....
Trust is a big issue; no matter how close you get to a person you can never ever trust them. I fail to understand how one can say "I trust you with my life", oh really?! How?
I recently got into an octagon of lies and betrayal amongst friends of mine. I was trying my best not to get involved, but once you're pulled in then that’s it, there’s absolutely no way out. What’s worse is while the storm is going on, a lot comes out and secrets are revealed which causes shock, disappointment and obviously lots and lots and lots of pain.
I have always admired my foreign friends, especially my people in South Africa. It just fascinates me how in almost every circle of friends you find that half of them slept with each other YET all keep that friendship and it’s all good, everyone is happy! loool. Makes me laugh thinking about it.
HERE on the other hand, it’s a whole different story. I think we are still trying to grasp the idea of having a male as a friend, let alone anything more than that and having other people get in between. ohhh the dramas!!!!!
How important is it to have a loyal friend? Do you need one? How much of value does one have in your life?
I know maaaaaaaaaaaaaaany people, and I have a loooooooooooot of "friends", but those close ones or the ones I love the most I do not call friends as they immediately get into the family category and I only put them there as soon as my family approves of them.
I've learnt a lot from my mistakes and reached to a state with I will not tolerate any nonsense. The minute I see you bring negativity in my life or you do not become of value to me, I am not afraid to cut you off, just like that, OUT! And NO, I will not feel bad about it, call me heartless but that’s the reality of it all. Why keep you when I see you take me to a dark whole. I'd rather be alone thank you very much.
Enough venting this time....In closing, I dedicate this to those who have made into my circle of close knit "friends" or as I like to call them, my special extended family members. You know very well who you are :-)
