just had a long insightful talk with a friend of mine. she said to me, “learning to live is like learning to merge.” when do you take a little, when do you give a little? i’m at a point in my life when i’m really looking at the people around me and getting a deeper understanding of why this person is in my life. there are so many superficial relationships out there. you can’t call someone your BFF because you like to gym together or go to the same restaurants. it takes so much more than that. you can’t call someone your bff because they don’t have a personality and is willing to do everything that you say, and will not disagree with you. please. give a little bit more respect to the word, “friendship”.
i think as you get older, you have less and less time to keep up with friends. you start to pick up a handful that you really want to see on a week to week basis. all the other just start to become acquaintances not because you want to be, but you simply don’t have the time to keep up anymore. and i’m pretty sure that that’s where i am.
i’m getting a little tired of being the nice person and sucking it up when people give you attitude for no reason - especially on a monday morning. like really. fucking. tired.
thanks to all the people who i know i can be carefree with! thanks to all the people who make every outing with them fun. thanks for all the people who have never sent smart-ass, sarcastic, pissy messages to their friends - your friends will soon appreciate all of that. thanks to all the people who helped me to realize that there are some situations where “quitting while you’re ahead” doesn’t make you a loser, but it makes you the bigger person.
but most of all, thanks to people who know they’re not perfect, and don’t act like they are.
I wanna stay up all night
And jump around until we see the sun
I wanna stay up all night
And find a girl and tell her she’s the one
