Priorities

I've realized a few things. First of all, friendships are about equivalency. You give to someone, and you get. You console them, and in return they console you. You give them a ride to UH, they give you a ride to Toyota Center. You help them with their homework, they help you study for a test. You honor their secrets, they honor yours. Most importantly, you respect them, and they respect you. These are how friendships work. And I honestly feel that all my good friends follow this way of thinking. That's what keeps my friendships with them are so strong. When somethings wrong, we tell each other straight up. It's just how friendships work.

However, sometimes you'll meet people that don't follow this way of thinking. They believe that the world revolves around them. These are the friends that put themselves at an higher priority and expect everyone else to accommodate. These are the ones that will blow you off or disrespect you for their own agenda, even when you've never done so to them. These are the friends that you regret investing time and effort into when you realize how much garbage they really are. These are the selfish friends that will never be happy because they are too involved in their own misery to even stop and think about you or how you're day went. Let's give these unbeneficial friends a name...let's call them "leeches." My dear friends, I advise you to stay clear of leeches because things never end good when you involve yourself with a leech.
