Friends

And onto another subject, I don't consider myself to have any friends. Really, I feel like, when people have needed me, I was there for them. I have stayed on the phone for hours while people cried, I have bitten my tongue while they insulted me by telling me things I completely disagree with, even though I had the decency to keep my mouth shut, I have comforted people when I was the lowest in MY life, I have always tried to give good advice to others even though I knew they wouldn't take it.
And yet, when I go through hard times, they never stood by me to make me stronger and make me feel like I had someone rooting for me to get through it. Even if they didn't understand what I was going through, they never even took the time to call me to see how I was, to even listen.

But you know what? Without them, it only makes you stronger when you come out of it all.
So, to end this little ramble, I give you my favorite quote that I have previously posted:

"'Tis better to be silent and thought a fool, then to open your mouth, and remove all doubt" - Abraham Lincoln

I post that because many things people say depicts how much respect they are given, and I have lost alot of respect for people because of their voiced opinions.
