sometimes...

... i feel down
... i feel blue
... i feel low
sometimes i feel conquered, stepped on, insecure, dominated, etc...

in my life i have come across friends who, well, aren't really my friends.  "Friends" who say they love me, they'll be there for me and all that jazz.  I won't mention any names and I won't be too specific, just want to use this space to vent a little.  Some time ago I discovered who my true friends aren't.  A moment in my life that should have been happy quickly turned to reality.  Typically, I blame myself for the mistake of believing and being naive.  Why didn't I see this before?  Have I failed to support them in their accomplishments and this is what I am getting in return?  Why can't they just be happy for me?

sometimes I feel like this, but I'm glad it's only sometimes and not all the time.  It's times like these that make me appreciate my close friends and family.  I was talking to my brother about this earlier today and boy does he know what to say to get me back on track.

"point is that you have the success and they dont. Run with it. Who cares ... it's their loss. Just keep going and doing what you do.  Just stay humble and never let it get into your ego..."

I agree with your brother. Plus, you will find that as you get older, as much as it may make you sad- your friends will also change.
just like you will change.

Thanks Rosalinda :)

I feel so deceived sometimes :/ my mom has warned me about these kids of people and I choose to learn my lesson first hand lol

I do agree though. People change and grow apart. I have noticed that more now that I'm beginning to grow up lol

My dad used to always warn me about who to avoid as well...and he was right.

But what I was really going to say is that's really cool of your brother.

And it's hard being awesome sometimes, because there's always someone who wants to drag you into their bs & egodrama. That's why I always admired the lotus growing up - always floating above the muck.

In life people will always come into your life but true friends will stick it with you till the end. I've also realized that. But hey the only true friend one can have is God. He always manages to put the people you actually need in your life. Keep doing what you do and don't let them bring you down. Vieja you are an awesome person and deserve the best in life...you have a wonderful family and friends that truly do care for you. You have come a long way from High School. You have been strong in the situations that are thrown at you. I admire that. You have a wonderful boyfriend who has your back and loves you. Vieja eres super!!
