The one thing about the 21st century that is becoming a definite trend besides crop tops and artistic Instagram pictures is what I, and probably you, like to call fake friends.
When you first meet someone, of course, there is no way for sure to know if you'll get along with them or not, but say you become friends with that person... They seem fun, always up for adventures, complimenting your style, agreeing with most anything you say.
It's pretty exciting to meet someone and just kind of click and have fun together.
Months pass and things are still going pretty good, but for some reason not as good as the first few weeks when they really paid attention to anything and everything about you. But isn't it odd how all of the sudden they seem to be best friends with someone new, that they just met two days ago?
Or suddenly learn that your "friend" has been talking to one of her friends about how "boring" you are or "weird".
So dear fake friend... Here is what I have to say... Thank you.
Yes, that is right, thank you. For showing me exactly what not to look for in a friend.
Funny how you always comment nice things on my pictures, especially if they are with both of us. But when I do the same, you reply to everyone's except mine.
Two weeks pass and I text you to hang out, and ironically enough every time I do... You reply that you already have plans and are busy, but you swore you were going to text me soon. Convenient how when you need something, that's when you decide to text or call me.
And don't get me wrong, every once in awhile it is fun to go out, but if I want to stay in for a weekend and relax, I'm automatically a party killer.
Thanks for trying to use me to make yourself look better... Thanks for going out of your way for people you just met or who has never been nice to you, but even finding time to grab a coffee with me is a chore.
You see I'm not mad...I'm thankful for the good times and memories we had, but I won't miss them. I'll always be here still, because that is what true friends do.
I've decided I'm past the point of fighting for a spot in people's lives when that something that comes naturally with the right people. So again, thank you, for showing your true colors because now you're one less person I have to be concerned of trying to tare me down.
Sincerely,
Me.
