The past three years of my life have been a considerable eye-opener and have helped me experience the world and its people for what they truly are. I have come to meet true, rotten-to-the-core assholes; people who are so obvious about it but are unavoidable and whose presence you're just gonna have to swallow sometimes. I've met backstabbers, false friends, people who betray you at your most vulnerable time. I've met friends who will run away with those you love. I've dealt with friends who I've just come to grow away from.Rulez wrote:Hang in there, buddy. I've been there recently. This guy pretending to be my friend, but in reality, manipulating me for a year and a half is the worst fucking son of a bitch I ever knew. There's literally nothing nice about him, and he's seriously the worst person I know. He's likely the only enemy of mine who's actually completely changed my viewpoint of people recently; people have noticed I've become suspiciously cold and bitter towards people who aren't my closest friends. Fake friends fucking suck.
And I've met beauties. Truly, the loveliest people I know on this planet, I have met in these last few years. Real sweethearts, whose honey-clad heart show not even a sliver of ice (except t'wards their enemies!). I've encountered hurt souls, who fear the world and its people in case they may come to harm because of them, but who are deeply within so kind and so fragile - tender flowers. I've met friends who will stick with me through thick and thin, no matter what rain of burning ice may come crashing down upon us. And I've met people who, from the instant I met them, I knew will/would become some of my best friends.
False friends suck, guys. They do. And it hurts to deal with them. I know it does. But know that the same may go for them - the way you treat them, in some way, may have been hurtful and caused them to lash out in reaction. I've felt myself act this way sometimes also... it's not as one-sided as we all experience it. Remember this!
And maybe... give it time. With time, all wounds mend. There may be scars, but one of the good things about scars is the stories they make you tell to others! Keep your scars as experience for your next encounters in life. Their painful lessons will provide you wisdom that will last you a lifetime. If it don't work out now, make it work out next time, with new people.
