Finding your real friends
September 25, 2018
When I think about friendships I think of all the amazing times and memorable moments that I share with my friends. I have some amazing friends that have been with me since elementary school. I am starting to realize that some people I call my “friends” are not people that I can’t trust, and man is it hard losing people who you thought were always there for you.
In middle school people started to change and go different ways than I thought they would. They have changed in a way that now I don’t feel comfortable just having a normal conversation with them. People change, sometimes they change for the better and become a better person, but sadly sometimes people change and it affects others that were close to them in a negative way. I tend to ask myself, why was I friends with that person or how did they change in a way that now I don’t even like to talk to them. I think that sometimes it is hard to find friends that you know you can trust.
People always say it is better to have more friends than just to have two or three, but is it really? If you can trust a couple of people and know that they will always be there for you then that’s all the friends you need. I think friendship is a confusing topic because you never know if people will make fun of you for having a specific friend or if a friend even may turn on you. Find your people and know who your true friends are because in the end your true friends are all that matter.
