When days are dark friends are plenty

Over and over again on Instagram and Facebook I always read profile pics that says

" When days are dark friends are few"

 or

"Those that are with you through the hard times-will be there with you through the good times"

and my personal favourite-

"If you weren't there for my struggle, you wont be there for my success".

 I really laugh when I read these cause for me its the complete opposite.

As I have said in a previous post I grew up really poor. But when I was poor I had so many friends it was unreal, and I had good friends. To the point when I couldn't afford stuff they would actually pay for me, and I'm talking movies, drinks the works. I had friends that asked their parents to take me in so I could live with them. I had friends that took me on holiday all expenses paid for weeks. I had good friends. Then there was the friends you would party with and the friends you would chill with and then the friends you had in school. Gosh I was so fortunate.

But then as I got older and I became better off, things changed. People started to ignore me and act as  if they don't know me, and the friends you once had became a thing of the past. Its not as if I never initiated  contact, I did, only to be shot down repeatedly. I wish there was an explanation for it better than people change, cause that just doesn't do it for me really. Then you start questioning whether they were ever your friends or was it just out of pity that they allowed you to hang around with them, and now that you far apart its such a relief cause they don't have to put up with you anymore.

This was something that took me a while to get over I was really feeling rejected and heartbroken by people whom I loved and shared so much of my life with and for a while I didn't even want friends anymore. I just didn't want to be disappointed again. I was scared that there was something wrong with me. Maybe I wasn't good enough for them. I was reluctant to open my heart to strangers, but I got over it when I made a conscience decision to, and since then I have met the most wonderful people whom I share my life with and call my friends.

The moral of the story?
Don't believe every profile picture you read and people change. Its not you. Its just life. Buy a bag and get over it.
