Grown-ups Don’t Know the Meaning of Friendship Either
I hate to say it but the friend game doesn’t get any better the older you get. You get to a point where you think that the group of friends you have surrounded yourself with is beyond all of the petty drama and bull you dealt with in HS and in college. You think that because they’re all intelligent people who you admire for different reasons that they are above the puerile bickering and selfishness that you have tried so hard to distance yourself from for so long. You think that the people you invest the most energy in and that you come to trust the most will actually be there for you when you need it. If you think these things at some point in time you will realize that you are sorely mistaken.
In the long run it won’t matter if you gave your “friend” more than anyone’s fair share of attention and support. It won’t matter if you stood behind them through bad relationships, police reports, job woes, and family trauma. Their promises to call, write, and send smoke signals are all for naught. You will be let down. I just hope that your “friend” actually gives you a reason for dropping you on your ass. A lame excuse is better than none at all.

I'm Elise. Welcome to my blog. It doesn't get updated as often as I would like it to be, but you can still catch a glimpse of who I am here. Someday I'll find a theme I like for more than a week, and when that day comes we well rejoice as though Balky were in the house.

It’s actually about one specific person, but it was written vaguely to mask the fact that it was about one individual (who should know it’s about them).
