Oh boy. I haven't posted for a long time. Well... this post is going to be about friends.
So... sometimes you have friends who will only be there for you for a short time. And then you have friends who will be there for you forever. And.. sometimes it is easy to get the two mixed up. But.. what it really boils down to is this. True friends will always be there for you in the end, ready to forgive you for whatever you've done. And part time friends will be there for a while.. and they will be fun.. but in the end it turns out that they don't really care like you thought they did. Save yourself some pain and just..
There's a good saying that goes like this. "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold." All friends are precious, even if they don't last long. But it's important not to mistreat or undervalue your true friends. Don't take them for granted. Ever.
I've learned this today. I had some friends. Then I made some new ones and they were a lot of fun! I let my old friends go because I was so distracted with the new ones. And it turned out that they weren't the amazing friends I thought they were. And so I've been kinda.. depressed because I was a jerk to my old friends and my new friends basically dumped me without a second thought. But today my old friends called me up and asked me to go get some ice cream. And ... I'm never gonna make this mistake again. And I encourage you not to. Always keep the old friends unless they're a bad influence. Don't be petty like me. I'm lucky it ended out alright. Sure, it's lame that I got dumped on my butt, but I am so lucky to have good friends who are STILL there for me even when I haven't been there for them.
