The events that have occurred these past few months have been forced upon so many of us. It taught the values of life, the harshness of reality, & what it means to be in a friendship. Although, some cases did not deal with me, it makes me think and wonder how there could be such people in this world. They've used hatred and jealousy to define their actions and words. A friendship is something you must cherish. You meet people and whether they stay in your lives forever or not, you know for a fact that they've impacted your life in some sort of way. Take advantage of the days that you have to spend together instead of using hate to push someone away. Friendships are amongst people. You cannot define and toss someone around as if they are an inanimate object. It is disrespectful and nonetheless demeaning. People are allowed to have more than one friend, and within that they may choose whom they will & can befriend. If there's a problem amongst friends, you cannot take it into your own hand to say that it's all one person's fault. If you have added to and manipulated situations than you are no more different than the other. Accept your faults & be on your way. It does not take away your pride, it only boosts your strength. Be real about everything and don't bring in any one person if it has nothing to do with them. It isn't right to speak out of anger, being rational is much more precise. If you think calling names and cussing each other out, is the right thing to do. Than you are wrong. You've contributed even more to the situation, instead of resolving it. Just learn to accept the happenings and learn to speak rationally.
