Observations

It seems to me that people never remain consistent in the role they play in my life. I've witnessed too many people grow comfortable with the position they worked hard to obtain, so much that they begin to slack off or even abuse their title. If I give somebody the privelage of my friendship I am expecting nothing more from them other than that they remain true to that title. It is not a difficult job, being a friend of mine. I've always just asked for consistency in my relationships with other people. However it seems that this is not as easy as it should be for some people, because we have those who walk out when things get serious and those who put you down when you have relied on them to hold you up. It is unfathomable to me.
But in all honesty all this has done was made me cherish those who have proven themselves worthy of their title even more. I know who I can count on. I just cannot see myself entertaining those who are in the gray area. It is either black or white. Either you are my friend or you are not. I mean we all know that quality is far more valuable than quantity anyway...

With all that being said a part of me still wants to know why? The other parts of me remember that a flower needs rain to grow and that leaves eventually die while strong roots keep the tree from falling. It is what it is. Life gives lessons, you just have to be real with yourself enough to accept it for what it is.
