Being ignorant to the fact that the people that you surround yourself with aren't true friends,

is one of the biggest mistakes you'll ever make.

WHY do we do this?

Why do we put ourselves in these situations?
If these people don't lift you up,

Encourage you,

Inspire you,

Change you,

Make you want to be a better person,

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BE AROUND THEM.

Why do we talk to people that put us down?
People that discourage us?
People that make us feel like shit,

People that talk down on us,

People that tell you that you just can't do it.

People that you KNOW don't care about you.

People that you KNOW talk badly about you, when you're not around.

People that you KNOW don't have your best interest at heart.

These people are our friends.

They're one of the biggest building blocks in our lives.

If they can't be there for your downfalls,

Why the hell should they be there with you to celebrate,

When you've waded through the muck alone,

And you've finally made it.

These people leave, when things go bad.

These people kick you while you're down.

These people, don't care.

Why would you want that?
