Author's Note: I thought this was kind of like a personal narrative. Maybe not but either way, I think you'll understand the concept even if you've never experienced it before.
"I never meant what I said. Sure it came out of my mouth but it was just because I was angry. I guess you wouldn't understand because you have changed, I don't know even how to describe it. I really hope you know I still care about you but, I just wish I could talk to you. Because all the times I try, I'm pushed in the corner like I'm nothing. Think about it like this...All the times you felt like nothing... Who was there for you? That's right ME."
I know this is really strange, but it is very true. One day last week, I was having a rough day. I felt like there was no one there if I wanted to get a laugh, or even talk. I dragged myself home and set my stuff down in my room. As usual, I went on the computer and turned music on really loudly. For some reason, loud, heavy music makes me feels better even if I feel like I'm alone. Anyways, I clicked on to the internet and went right to Facebook.
As I scrolled through what other people posted throughout the day, there was one post that really hit me hard. It was the quote of the first paragraph. If you know anything about Facebook at all, you know that most people don't post paragraphs in a status. I thought that it had to have been something special waiting to be said if the writing was that long. So, I read it. As I kept on reading, I turned my music louder. I couldn't think straight. Every bad memory of my friends rushed through my mind and I just sat there. Helplessly wondering if my so-called "best friends" even cared anymore.
The quote really made me think about who my real friends are and if they are just using me to say that they have one more friend. I shared this with my most trusted friend and she said, "Wow. That's intense but yet very true." She then she said something that made me truly think whether I should keep those friends that made me feel that way or not. She said, "Just remember, quality, not quantity."
As I had thought about it, I just said, "Okay. I'm done." And she didn't understand me. I simply had said, "I'm done with the friendship. They may not notice it for a while but that just shows they don't care. I tried and they didn't. Bye"
