They Say Blood is Thicker than Water .... so do they Feed you or Bleed you..?

This is dedicated to a special friend  …. To help clarify a situation for them that we were discussing and it is there to help us all :)

Our families and friends are frequently relationships of convenience, don’t u agree??? Instead of being based exclusively on personal choice…… I believe that most of the time they are based on circumstance. IE meaning :-

“when our circumstances become different, so can the conditions of our friendships and it is at that instant that the true nature may be revealed to us” – good or bad

Once u feel exhausted, drained by a friendship/person, and that has negativity about it, we should not be in denial of the circumstances that surround it or the ppl who are causing it ….

and we SHOULD not allow our friendships that are negative to be toxic to us…. We should take this time to examine our “friendships” and prioritizing out our synergies …. ELIMINATE if necessary….

This is sometimes the most difficult, or, at the very least, disruptive, but sometimes we have too… and if u can’t then…. Ignore, avoid as much as possible and set boundaries for the ungratefulls…..(it helps)

No one should have to put time and effort into something that they r experiencing as unproductive and stagnant….. or just plain exhaustion.....

and remember it is U that matters not them .... (the ungratefulls)....

Quickies:

• Definition of my Angels - friends who are close to the heart ....
• we add one more to the list of angels :-),  and they know who they are ... alhamdulliah, thank u God
• and then i have my friends whom i love and cherish too, and am glad to have around us...... again alhamdullilah, thank u God
• and then there are the acquaintances the ones we meet and sometimes socialise with
• and we have the OTHERS, i was going to say insignificant - but then no one is since we meet ppl in life for a reason, however in my dictionary they are the can be ignored
• and then UNGRATEFULLS.... eliminate or set boundries :-)

"We are always blessed by ppl we meet in life, for u never know

why the encounter has been made"
