Fake Friends: The Story Of My Life

Don't even get me started on how.

Fake Friends: The Story Of My Life
HuffPost

First off, let me start by saying in all my years of life, this last year has been the worst. I have never encountered so many fake people and friends. How one minute they’re right by your side and the next they’re gone without so much as a warning. How you thought the secrets you told them were just YOUR secrets, they weren’t meant for others and yet everyone seemed to know.

I’ve come across a lot, and normally I’m good at weeding them out. But this time, I didn’t get there in time. A lot of people will call me a hypocrite, they’ll probably call me fake, but what they think of me really doesn’t matter. What matters is why they’re fake, when you’re friends with someone, your lives kind of merge. Your days blend together with theirs and if you’re lucky, they become your best friend. You essentially become one person, and so you share secrets, things you’ve never told anyone. Or if you’re like me, you talk a lot of shit. Which I do, I can’t help it, but hey it’s better than actually going out and doing all the things you threaten to do.

When that person betrays you, it’s like a hole has been ripped into your chest, the place where they used to be and sometimes you don’t know how to deal with it so you lash out at anything and everyone. Which causes a lot more problems than it’s worth. I’ve come across many types of friends in my life and I can narrow it down to a few of the main ones.

1. Fake Friends:

This one is self-explanatory and it goes along with the title. They’re the friends who say one thing to your face and go behind your back and say another. They’re the worst kind but they’re also the hardest to pinpoint because let’s face it, you never really know what someone is saying about you until it’s too late and everyone knows.

2. Shit Talkers:

I hate to admit it, but I am classed in this friend group, I talk a lot of shit. However, I will walk right up to you and tell you the things that I’ve said. With me, you won’t have to find out from someone else because I’ll be the first to tell you. Regardless of the situation. Except my shit talking only tends to happen when I’m royally pissed off, can’t speak for others though.

3. Emotionally Unstable:

Again, this is me. I’m the over emotional friend and I’m always crying about something if I’m being honest. You could blow on my finger and I’ll start crying, I’m just that type of person. Literally everything upsets me. But these ones are also the best listeners because they know what it feels like to be right where you are right now. They’ve experienced it, they’ve felt your pain. They know.

Also, if you’re going to constantly make indirects about someone, be man enough to tag them in it and don’t try to justify your stupidity. It’s really hard to take you seriously and treat you like an adult when all you do is dumb, childish shit. But hey, if that’s how you wanna live your life then so be it, I’m not going to stop you.

Moral of the story is this: IF you’re going to be a childish, insolent chit. Don’t drag others into your drama because you’re bored. Or because you have nothing better to do, because I can assure you that they in fact do.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
