Friends...

I had an e-mail this morning from Ms. Morgan in Oregon about true friends....

Man I could say a few things about friends. I have had the honor of having some really great one's but also have had some really rotten ones. I guess I'm the type of friend that puts EVERYTHING into a friendship. Who puts them first no matter what, will always be there for them when they need me. I guess the bad part with that is I always expect the same in return.  Which usually comes to bite me in the tush! The bad things about friends is in order to become closer to them you share information with them, secrets, and things you wouldnt tell anyone else. Some of the time they keep it to themselves, but other times they dont. I just cant understand why that is. Isn't everyone raised to know when to keep their mouths shut and be respectful of other people? even if they weren't raised that way, isnt that kind of a given for every human being? Apparently not sometimes.. am I the only person this bugs? I hope not either. Another pet peve of mine is when your girls get boyfriends... OMG we dont mind hearing about them but dang when you constantly ditch us for them that just isn't cool. Cuz guess what? Sooner or later ya'll are going to break up... (depending on the friend) and if you spent 90% of ya'lls relationship ditching us to go hang with him guess what were gonna do? that's right! Were not going to be there, best friends arn't your welcome mat to come visit only when you have a problem with the man your choosing over your friends.  I know I can honestly say that I have NEVER ditched my friends for a man. I respect my girls more than that, and no man is more important than my girls... Sorry Morgan I kind of went off a little bit there. But the point is.. well I think you get it. Friends will be there forever, boys wont, and if he is a good man, he will never ask you to take time away from your friends to spend time with you (as long as you spend an appropriate amount of time with him).  You dont want your girlfriends resenting you for it later :) hope all my venting helped! lol XOXO
