What Friends are For
Sometimes, on hard days, when friends disappoint, I
forget why I have friends.

Then, one single friend lifts me up from despair, and I
remember why I chose to have lots of friends, rather than
one sole best friend. I pray to God that I never forget that
reason for so long that I would actually start dumping
friends left and right.

Friends disappoint because they're human. I have no
business expecting friends to be perfect. That is why I
chose to have lots of friends, so that when one friend is
being temporarily, disappointingly human, there are
always other friends I can turn to, that temporarily are
super-human.

To all my friends, I ask you to forgive me for all my nasty
thoughts of any of you, even though you have no clue
what nasty thoughts I've been thinking. Chalk it up to pre-
menstrual syndrome. I love you guys just the way you
are, so you guys just be who you gotta be. I'll play to
your strengths and cover your weaknesses, okay?

At least when I'm not being temporarily, disappointingly
human myself....

With this I was thinking... yes friends are human and yes I dropped few friends here and there and yes if you're not on my list then you're not my friend haha...(fake laugh)

kidding aside... It kept me thinking... that yeah this is the reason why I have lots of friends and getting rid of some can be sometimes mind churning but when you're over it then you're over it... I mean I'm not wherever they are... they easily forgot what happened and I can easily forget the years we had together too... we win some we lose some... it's just a pity that sometimes the person you think knows you most knows nothing about you....they think that not telling you what happened will make it better, that it won't make you mad... that telling you last wouldn't make you more mad than if they told you about it in the first place... that trying to ask you if they can do something but if you dont want to do it they wont do it would make you feel better about it... that helping the last person they'd expect you to help wouldn't hurt you.. that not thinking about what they do wouldn't hurt... that asking for something you'd rather forget not hurt.... that them talking behind your back and deciding that not talking to you would be better wouldnt' hurt... that them not caring wouldn't hurt... I did't hurt anyone by not talking to them coz sometimes I think I should feel the hurt too... I'm done being the perfect friend... the bigger man... the better person... I'm just me and I just hate you right now... nothing can make it better... nothing you do will make things come back...

I will remember and I will not forget... time will pass and it will soften the blow... sometimes I will think of you.. sometimes I will think of the times we had.. of the friendship that was past... but that will be it... that will be only time I will remember you fondly...

Sometimes I wonder why there are people like you, why there are people who tear other people down... why you don't think what you can do to me...

It's a good thing I have other friends... it's a good thing I can make friends... it's a good thing that not everyone understands but some try to think... try to be sensitive and try to be perceptive... thank God for friends that know how to be friends....
