If you claim to be a real friend then be real in your soul. If you claim to be fake then be an enemy instead.
-Santosh Kalwar

quote on friendship

بهتر است كه در غل و زنجير با دوستان, بيش از آنكه در باغ با بيگانگان

"It is better to be in chains with friends , than to be in a garden with strangers."
                                    --Persian Proverb

You'll know it when it arrives.

SOMETIMES friendships and relationships come to an impasse because God is ready for you to meet the person you're supposed to be with. That relationship could be like a waiting room, where you're waiting for your name to be called.

Time (and need) will reveal

I'm always glad to meet new people and to make new friends. I don't take any new friendships seriously until some time has passed. Time and need has a way of  revealing the realness of people; filtering out the people you don't need to waste your time with for whatever reason- selfish people that never have your back, for example.

It's for that reason above that I ended what I thought was a friendship of 5 years, today. As of today, he's ghost. Something I can't see, like air.

Some things happen for a reason.

Hindsight is 20/20

Some people are in your life for a season and some for a reason. And some you shouldn't have let in your life at all. Get rid of them.


Just a thought.

That's all I had to do

something in the way you made me feel.

not when you said we were friends

but when you acted like we weren't.

you know,

when I would call,

text,

email

often;

I bought souvenirs for your kids,

I even baked a cake for parties that I weren't  invited to.

& all I had to do was to stop communicating.

to stop hearing from you.

I've waited long enough
(not really waiting,
living my life)  for you to call or text or email 

to say something as simple as 

'wassup man, long time no hear. what have you been up to?'

& all I had to do was to stop communicating.

to stop hearing from you?

Maya Angelou says, 'when someone shows you who they really are, believe them'.

I believe you.

(note to self -stop communicating to find out who will wonder why they haven't heard from you. those that you will never hear from again, don't matter. except your family-

I used to call my sister alot. When I stopped calling her, I never heard from her again. Oh, I still leave happy birthday happy mother's day or merry christmas  voicemails on her phone when she doesn't answer. She never responds. This blog entry isn't about her though. It's for someone else. My sister just happens to do the same thing)
