Who you surround yourself with really does define you. I’m taking a good long look at this. And a good long look at others. It’s time to clear out the dead wood.
Traits I am looking for:
- substance (are you more than a pretty smile and a clever remark)
- reliability (would you help me move?)
-worthiness (are we friends or do we just complain to each other? if i was happy would you resent me? Would I resent you? Would you bring me hot soup and porn if I was sick?)
-back me up in fight (Do you have mad streetfighting skillz?)
- bring me junk food in the hospital (I like pizza- pepperoni or hawaiian)
- remember my birthday (or at least show up at the party without a lame excuse - like it being in brooklyn or it’s not about you therefore you can’t come)
- you don’t have stupid, life-force-sucking, narcissistic, smug, asshole (who validate your bad life decisions with their own bad life decisions) friends
- you have quality friends, not a fan club, and you know the difference
I just have no time for bad relationships of ANY kind any more. The scythe is swinging…
I want to rent you to be my friend, can you listen, are you available? It pays well.
