Friendships, they are a hard thing to sustain these days. Since I was young, I didn’t ever claim to have too many friends, I seemed to just have different friends for a different reason or season. In middle school, when I was going through that transition of acceptance and determining who I was, I learned really all were not as trustworthy as they used to be when we were little, it could be because of jealousy, envy or insecurities, who knows. Many considered me popular in high school, but I never thought of myself that way, I just knew a lot of people. During my first year in college, I learned a valuable lesson about friendships; you have to treat them just as a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. You have to make time for one another, consider the others feelings, and just listen.
