Friend vs. Unfriend
I guess the party's over.
I'm like, was it something I ate? But wait...
It happens, often without warning. You have someone on Facebook called 'a friend', and all of a sudden, zap they're gone. Perhaps I should brush my teeth?
An acquaintance of mine from middle school wrote on her picture she gave me:
"True friends are precious and rare, false ones like autumn leaves are scattered everywhere."
I don't know who the author is or was. It may have been her own personal poem, but it is an accurate observation.
And we know that not everyone on Facebook is a true friend. When I was young and naive I called many people 'friends', but alas, yes, I did find out there are such a thing as 'fair weather' friends.
And there are friends that even if you are apart they still occupy a place in your heart, and you in their heart. Some things to keep in mind this day:
"Sometimes you get in trouble because
You reveal too much of yourself to those
Who do not deserve to know anything
About you."
"The goal is to not change who you are,
But to become more of who you are—at your best."
"Life is so ironic.
It takes sadness to know what happiness is,
Noise to appreciate silence
And absence to value presence."
In a world fraught with adversaries, remember who will always be your friend.
