Maybe I just need to get out of this circle and see what's out there.

Making Adjustments.
The other day, a friend and I had a discussion about the inevitable change that happens to us and those around us. As much as we don't like these changes, there's really not much we can do about them. Some of our good friends have fallen victims to these changes and have become completely different beings. Its almost impossible to recognize them anymore. So what do those that haven't changed do? My friend chose to disregard these changes and continue to pursue her friendship with them. I, on the other hand, decided there is no point in continuing a friendship if they are no longer the same person I became friends in the first place. I know it sounds harsh, but why should I maintain those friendships? Am I obligated to adjust to their new habits? No. Our once similar interests, views, and standards have now diminished. They've become those conformers that will try anything to fit in. Those egotistical bastards that put others down to make themselves feel better. Everything I despise in a person. Call me an asshole, but I guess I have higher standards for friends than most.

sometimes people become so rotten that you need to cut yourself off and count your losses, but mostly if you are a true friend, you will stick through thick and thin. What is a better testament to character then overcoming hardships?
ReplyDeleteThe thing you must have I suppose is the wisdom to know the difference, which I know you possess.
Hold tight troy : )
getting out of your circle does help you to see better what the real world looks like. as you mentioned above, it's true that people change constantly and being a friend is to see that happens yet still able to stick around, as long as you are true to them, they will appreciate. :D
