Fair-weathered friends

You didn't want to believe it. You gave them the benefit of the doubt but time and time again they have proven themselves to be unworthy of your friendship-fair weathered friends.

They use your car and never put gas in it, borrow your clothes and never return them, put you in a position where you have to endure some unnecessary hardship, problems or concerns. Then they walk around with a sense of entitlement like the things you do as a friend is their birth right!
Before this becomes a tangent, let me say that life is gift and who you choose to share it with is your business. 

On that same token do not let someone walk over you, abuse and mistreat you, take advantage of you, with no reciprocity. If you choose to allow this then you have become the ass and they shall continue to ride you.

Balance can be a beautiful thing. I grew up in Anglican church where I was encouraged to believe in moderation. If you're going to consume alcohol-do it in moderation, going to take bullshit-take it in moderation but by now you've probably passed that point.

The funny thing is I always thought that life was unfair until recently. I had a conversation with someone who's views and opinions I can appreciate and you know what they told me, "life is fair, it's the people that aren't"....
Listen! When that sunk in I wanted to scream that truer words have never been spoken!!! The amount of wrong I have watched, read, heard that humans have done to each other is ridiculous!

Case and point: In high school my music teacher, he was a Jamaican and you'll soon see why that is important, told me to go online and search for those lottery's that grant you green cards. He said when it asked for your nationality to type in Jamaican so I did. Imagine my surprise when I did and it said something to the effect of unavailable, sorry, etc! Man I was like what people profiling based on nationality na!

Injustice is injustice no matter how you pretty that bitch up.
Those fair-weathered friends are doing you a great injustice but it's up to you to decide to continue to take it or to LET THEM GO! People only have the power you give them and it's time to cut the mother-fucking umbilical cord!
Tired of being frustrated? tired of the unnecessary stress? Take one of these and call me next week

You can only do so much, take so much no matter how much of a superhuman you think you are! 
Re-evaluate your friendships, who's been there through the good the bad and the ugly?!??!! If you real recognize real and their looking unfamiliar then cut that bitch/nigga/ bitch nigga loose! 
It was never convenient for you like it was for them. Cut your losses for you feel the need to cut a negro. What goes around comes around and it comes back ten times harder.
Just remember to be more selective, everyone deserves an unbiased chance, but don't be anyone's whipping boy....


THIS HAS BEEN A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
