What is a friend?
We choose our friends, right? Friends aren’t like sisters, brothers or parents – we don’t just have them. Friends are people we relate to, share common goals with & admire.

Or are they?
It astounds me at times how many people are willing to invest valuable time in a friendship that is one-sided, superficial and perhaps even destructive.

It is important to ensure the company we keep is good for us. A friend should bring out the best in you, not the worst. They should make you want to be a better person, and give you a reason to excel.

The role of friend is to not judge, yet give advice. Offer a helping hand, be willing to listen and be strong enough to be honest.

Over time you will become the people you associate with, take a long hard look at your friends now – if you don’t like what you see, move on & find real people.

The price of a real friend - you must be willing to selflessly offer reliance & respect.
Are you ready?

trust

Now when it comes to trust and trusting people I am probably the expert. I think I have broken more trust than anyone else I know. I have lied and told half truths and hidden things from those that love me and those that trust me.

So maybe that is why I look at things now and trust no one. I guess that sounds a bit too much like the xfiles, but it's sad now as that is how I look at life. I go out of my way to avaoid people and don't trust anyone.

Today was spent in a poor mood, you know those days when things just aren't good, everything seems a little tainted. Health affects it so all over you feel down. Now to finish the day poeple tell you things that just don't quite seem right. People say, oh I'm doing this tonight, how bout we catch up, so you say yes and then, they don't contact you and do somethiong completely differently. Hmmm, then other people say one thing, then you catch them at something else. Then suddenly you think it is you. Am I paranoid? Are these people your friends.

Well for now I'm off to find myself. To find out what I'm doing with my life and how to handle people. I think it boils down to no one actually having any friends. A sad thought, but for now, you can all get fucked. This is me for me and only I'm here to make my mark and do what I want to do. I'm going to be selfish now.

I need to learn to trust people and be honest so that I can trust people again.

You suck!
Yes, people like you really shit me. Why does the world owe you someting? huh? What do people owe you? Well? So, common, tell me! What does the world owe you? Well, take a good hard look at yourself because the world owes you zip. That's right. Nothing.

Don't ask what the world can give you...don't want want want all the time. Try giving, it is an awesome experience. Try to give back and not be selfish :-) You might suprise yourself. Do you live your days, wanting something all the time, never happy. Well sucked in my friend, you will jot get what you search because you are a blood sucking scumbag :-P

Ok, ok, a bit harsh I know but really it amazes me how all these people out there can go an being such selfish pricks. Rude, arrogant arseholes who like to think the world owes them something. It doesn't! Get the fuck over it! Get a life, stop whinging, just shut the fuck up and try to help and give.

Derwent out! Over to you now young Pip!
