| What does it really take to be a friend? What are friends suppose to do for you? When are they suppose to be there for help? It's actually funny, because friendships, or real friendships are so rare, that you don't really realize it until you see one by one of your so called friends disappear. And when I mean disappear, i dont mean they vanish, or die. I mean losing contact with one another simply because two people refuse to keep in contact with another. Or in my case, one person always does the contacting, and the other so called friends never attempts or even think about calling you. It's very freightening if you really think about it. All of the friends that you thought you can depend on and talk to aren't truly what you think they are. You realize that all along, you're just a mere fool that is trying to be friendly to everyone, yet the others are only either using you to pass time.
It's just so surprising to me, maybe I should learn how to classify what friends really are, and aqquintances. Friends are the people that truly care how you feel, what you do, and wants to know how you are constantly. Aqquintances are most likely people that you only hang out with for beneficial reasons. So how in the world do you predict if your friendships are truly as genuine as they are? I mean think about it. Think for one minute, and ask yourself who your true friends really are? And if you list more then a handful, you should either consider yourself lucky, or retarded. Lucky because maybe you really have that many close friends that are willing to do anything for you just to help you through hard times. Or, retarded because you are merely just trying to list a bunch to satisfy yourself, and "think" that you are happy and have unlimited friends.
The world is really not that friendly or down to earth. I have always thought being able to meet someone or a certain individual that shares a common interest, ideologies, and compatible personalities as fate. Meaning, out of billions of people on this planet, the chances of you meeting a particular person is pretty slim. And that is why I like to at least try my best to keep friendships that i have made in the past. Although i think i have failed miserably this year.
Ofcourse, college, you meet so many more people, but it's funny because friendships aren't suppose to fade so easily i think. And obviously new friendships are just as hard to cement. Whatever it is, this year has made me realized who my true friends really are, and who are the aqquintances. I give up, i have finally realized its quality over quantity. And others should realize that too. Sit down and think about who are the people that really cares, and who don't. Or some of the people you tried to care about, and never worked.
