Relationships(friends and family)

Relationships are a huge deal for me.

What are they to you?

Over the years I've grown to learn a lot, whether by own experiences or by experiences from others.  
Over time you grow to learn who will be there for you when you absolutely need.  It's a shame when you realize that the friends or family that you thought were your closest are the ones that won't be there when you need them the most.  Or that when something exciting happens to you, they are not as happy for you as they would be if it were them.
When friends and family get married, have kids, get promoted, buy a house, get a new job or anything major and exciting that happens in their life, I am genuinely happy for them and wish them all the best.  Why is it that it doesn't seem the same in return?
It seems as though the saying should go; 'all for one and one for one'.

Or when they are only around when they need something from you and once that's complete, they aren't to be seen or heard from until the next use of you. Or socializing with others they don't really know, but claiming as though they do and forgetting who their actual friends were from the start. It's rude.

It seems people tend to go more towards the people that talk about them behind their back and forget those that actually care about them...Must be like the saying; 'nice guys finish last.'  I won't be fake in order for someone to like me and seeing people be two-faced is extremely bothersome.
They also say 'kill them with kindness,' but sometimes it kills to see the return.
Don't claim to be family when you leave the most important people out and only re-engage them in your life for your short term benefit.  Don't claim to be a friend when you can't return simple gestures.


Everyone's life changes, but you make room for those most important in your life. 


So think about what you have done to someone lately and how you've left them out...Think if you have been inconsiderate of someone's feelings. Or how you've treated those who have been there for you and treated you like family.


Good things come to good people...they may need to wait a little longer, but in time, they will come.
