"Sometimes, I go on a rant and I write things when the emotions are the most raw and prevalent. I find these times to be the most insightful because they give you a glimpse at someone else's psyche. It proves to you that they are just like you, even though you've already made up your mind of who this person was." -Anonymous
This year proved to me that those that I called my best friends, are or can be, unfortunately and predictably, my closest enemies. Friendship is a two way street and as long as one feels animosity towards the other, the bridge burns. The problem is that people expect so much from friendship; people come and go, you just have to keep moving forward without ever looking back at the ashes you once cherished. I'm not going to say "oh next year's going to be different. NEW YEAR, NEW ME", because it's bull. I'm not going to change, I'm just going to make changes. No more TRYING to keep friendships alive. If you want me around, you need to make the same effort I am. If it's not working, it's not working. Things go bad and there's nothing we can do about it. I'm not going to keep up appearances for anyone I feel isn't worth my time. I hate to say it, but when I done with you, you're out. There's no such thing as second chances with me. It's either you're with me, or you're without me; no ifs, ands, or buts about it. A new year to me means spring clean up of my social interactions.
