You know what I went through a couple years ago and how its changed my life - forever.
Its also altered my perspective on things - one of which being the term "friends."
From what I've read here, this is exactly the type of "friend" you don't need in your life.
I had what I thought were many friends before. I have many now. They're just different people now.
Those who weren't there or were spreading rumors or only there when it was easy ..... OUT! I fired them all.
Some new and amazingly kind, generous and wonderful people came into our lives since that time as well.
They are the people I consider friends now. The others? I couldn't be bothered even thinking about anymore.
They just continued with their lives when we didn't have the same (insert money, time, help.. here) to offer them.
When we were in need they became too busy or couldn't be bothered to help.
Life is different now and the people I consider friends have enriched mine in ways I would have NEVER anticipated.
I really don't miss the others. I didn't expect that to happen.
