Friends are a tricky business

You know those days when you are just so sick of people that you can barely stand it? Yep. It's one of those days.

It started out relatively nice, the sun was shining and I sat outside and did homework all day. Lovely, simply lovely. But then I start to hear the drama of all the girls that live around me and I just start getting sick.

Sick of the complaining, sick of the silly fights, sick of the boy drama. It's all rather sickening. But then I start to wonder why I have to be dragged down with all this weight, I mean, it's not my drama. So why should I have to deal with it?

Well, I guess because they are my friends. Yeah...they are. Despite them fighting over the silliest things and getting upset over tiny disputes I still love em. This is all part of being a friend. Putting up with their insecurities and dealing with your own at the same time. Listening to their problems and not expecting them to listen to yours in return. Nodding sympathetically when they unload their emotional baggage on you. Smiling when they need to know that you care. Hugging them when they cry and rubbing their back when they're hurting.

Dang. Now that's a job.

It's so hard to be that friend. It's hard to care when you don't want to. It's hard to love when everything in you wants to repel. It's hard to be actively involved in someones life when they could care less about yours. Friends are a tricky business.

But I'm thankful for them all the same I suppose.
