friends

friendship is an iffy topic. in this post, i'm not gonna ask as many questions as much as i'm about to point out a lot that i have observed.
let me start off by saying, i am 18 years old. i just graduated from high school. a good majority of my friends are 17. they are about to be seniors. my point? we are too damn old to still be acting like petty children when it comes to making and keeping friends. my way of thinking is: if i like you, i like you. if not, tough shit, we can go on about our lives like everything is fine, cuz it won't phase me too much if you're not around in my life. *shrug* but it's not that simple for everybody.
some people like to call like 1325234 different people their "best friends," but will be quick to get mad at any one of them without warning. like i said, we're too old for that. i feel like, if you're really friends with that person, take the time to talk that shit out, especially if it's some petty shit.
let me also say, i am guilty of just abruptly ending a "friendship" without warning. i think the thing with that one, though, was that it wasn't a real friendship. she was annoying, and i was just nice to her until she continually pissed me off. after a while, i just stopped being polite. she's not real to me anymore. i wouldn't put effort into maintaining something that wasn't there in the first place. so i think i'm okay.
however... people do other people so dirty. they will do and say the snakiest shit to their "friends." their friends will bitch them out about it.....but then they go back to being ok, only to have their friends do some dumb shit again.
now, there's a fine line between getting on your friends' nerves every once and a while, and just flat out doing them WRONG. i don't know about the rest of the world, but i feel like that's grounds for suspension, if you will.
i don't know. i guess what i'm ultimately trying to get at is this: know who your real friends are. snakery is never acceptable, and don't try to act like it is. and if you know you're ever in the wrong accept it, apologize, and if you get snaked by a friend who has no remorse about, they are NOT your real friend, so do NOT go back to being cool. ever. that defeats the purpose of separating your REAL FRIENDS from everyone else.
that is all.
peace and love, yall.
