Are you in Good Company?

They say you can tell a person by the company she keeps. Well if thats the case then which one of my ‘friends’ did u see me with cause I’ve got a lot of different people who I hang out with, go to uni with, go to parties with, and have loads of pictures with but they aren’t my true friend. I can honestly say right now I have three true friends out of about 20 associates. Sometimes you need to take a step back and really look at someone to see if this is the person I want to walk by my side. I mean we as women have this inbuilt sense in yourself to criticise partners and see if their personality, their goals, their dreams are of the same nature of ours and if they are not then are they worth the risk. But when it comes to friends we either take what we get or make something work for us, like we go to that lecture where we don’t know anyone and we notice that girl that we’ve always seen but never said hey to cause she’s just way to loud, but because you don’t want to sit alone all day you say 'hey' make small talk and ignore the fact she’s ready 2 make a loud scene.

We put up with people we don’t like for all the wrong reasons cause come 4 months later and u have 2 sit next to that annoying girl who you now text everyday and have hung out with loads of times, and you wish deep in your heart you had never said hey cause now you know you’d rather be alone than with her.

Our friendships not only tell a lot about who we are -- they make us who we are.

So I’m taking a step back to re-evaluate these so called friends I have around me because the reality of it is that those faults that I see in them are the same traits people will associate with me. If that is your friend then she’s a reflection of some part of you, you don’t see a racist walking around with a quarter black, quarter Asian, quarter Hispanic and quarter Jewish person cause that’s not what they are about. I mean honestly to get on with someone you have to at least have some common ground!

Anyway I’m not finished on this topic but I thought I’d just throw that out there. sometimes you need to really at someone to know that you need to run away so they'll never take u down!
