fake friends

It's funny. I was talking to a few of my friends about this subject this week: true friends. Then I saw a similar article show up on MSN: true friends. For those of us with a facebook or myspace, etc. we have multiple pages of friend lists. Out of maybe 450 of those friends, who do you consider a real friend?

My friends seem to be in such a tangle with eachother. they both claim to love the same boy which is stupid. i know from experiance relationships don't work in high school. of course yes i am in a relationship and i love every minute of it, but i still know it's a temporary thing for me and him. both girls are fighting for a guy who just wants "bang" them and then move on.

I have to wonder how important friendship really is. Do you ever find true friends?

So lately a few of my "friends" have been going thru a lot of stuff. We have been friends for 6 or 7 years now and we all decided to go on a senior trip together. Well, lately 2 of them (we will call them Emily and Chelsie) have been talking about my best friend (we will call her Paige) behind her back.

I met a girl in my freshman year of college with whom I developed an instant connection, which I thought would be forever. She became one of my best friends. We had some differences, sure, but our outstanding similarities outweighed all the rest.

I knew it would soon end, I felt you slowly beginning to slip away, I gave you my all, my heart and soul all I ever asked was that you not hurt me or cause me pain, but even that was too much to ask. You promised me forever, I knew our friendship wouldn’t last but I chose oblivion over reality, I tried my best to keep you by my side. I blamed myself for letting you slip, feeling like I wasn’t good enough, as if it were my fault you wanted out. I loved you with everything I had. I chose to be your friend through it all. I didn’t want to let you go, I didn’t want to feel like a failure, as if I wasn’t the great friend I so often claimed to be. Through the lies, the pain, and the broken promises, I stood by you, believing you would change.
