friend or foe?

“A close friend can become a close enemy” – Ethiopian Proverb

We all have three types of friends: friends by obligation, friends for a short period of time and friends for a lifetime.

It’s kind of weird when someone asks you if you know “this” person and you have to answer him: yes, I used to know him… Don’t be sad when a friendship ends! Time goes by and you’ll move on. You have to tell yourself that even if they left you, it is not the end of the story! It is the end of their part in YOUR story.

Sometimes you have to be strong only for yourself. You have to tell you that you ARE a good person and a good friend. Friendship is worth fighting for but… you can’t be the only one fighting. Sometimes it is up to “your friends” to fight for you, and if they don’t… well then you’ll have to move on and accept that everything you gave for them was more than they were ever willing to give for you.

From the moment on you ask yourself whether you can trust someone or not, you already know that you can’t. Otherwise you wouldn’t ask yourself this question. Sometimes the person you think would take a bullet for you is actually standing behind your back…not to protect you but to protect himself… in case he needs to use you as a human shield. But, don’t lose hope, Karma will make it right…someday!

Remember that not everybody is able to handle the rough times…alone. Only a few people understand what it means to really be there for somebody. Having a good friend is so hard to find because meeting a good person has become really rare.

I’ve learned to accept that people will run from me…

I learned that some people don’t want your friendship but instead they are searching for pointless drama. In the end, you will know which people really love you. True friends will see you as you really are and they will, no matter what, always find a way to be by your side.

"you become like the 5 people you spend the
most time with"! Love you <3

If you want to get rid of this pointless drama, you have to create a better environment: STOP making excuses, playing the victim, letting society tell you how to live your life, and relying on others to achieve your own happiness but START positive thinking, believing in yourself, making your own happiness, and acknowledging your desires and wishes. I’ve wasted so many years and nerves trapped in useless friendships.

So for those who disappointed you, who blamed you and who spread lies about you, here is an instruction of “being a GOOD friend”: be REAL, honest, loyal, respectful, take care and give advices without judging!

Listen, trust, apologize and forgive!

Now it’s up to you, choose wisely, because remember…not everyone is meant to be your friend!

Enjoy the real moments with the ones you love and
who truly love you back <3 

“For all the people who talked behind my back and gave up on my friendship: I’m not even upset, hurt or angry anymore. I’m just tired of your stupid lies, and I’m tired of holding on for nothing. I’ve finally realized that I deserve better”.

Always remember who put you down and who helped you up.

Stop thinking that you’ll never find a friend like him again, and start thinking that he or she will never find a good friend like you anymore.

Stay positive, believe in yourself and
keep your head up high!

You deserve better than good! 

You’re worth it!!
