I got a small circle ......

"That's why I pick and choose, I don't get sh*t confused, I got a small circle, I'm not with different crews." -Drake

This is exactly how I feel about having some of the GREATEST girlfriends ever.  I honestly detest being friends with girls.  I do.  Way too much drama for my life.  I think that girls are too whiney, bitchy, and very brutally vicious.  Girls talk to much crap, and never to your face, always behind your back.  It's annoyingly difficult to be friends with girls.  That is why, I rarely choose them.

  Luckily for me, I have had almost all the same girlfriends since high school.  That in itself is a long and hard challenge.  A large amount of the girls I surrounded myself with back then, aren't even people I would pick up the phone and call anymore.  I guess with age you stop feeling bad for ditching people and start realizing that if they were real friends, you wouldn't have to ditch them in the first place.  I mean, I still have the girls that are always gonna be my girls, even though we barely talk, but as for the girls I choose to let participate in my life daily, oh they come very sparingly.  I can count them on one hand.  

When I was younger, my parents would always warn me that friends would come and go.  I think I just tried so hard to ignore them because I never wanted to believe it.  Who wants to be 10 and come to realizations that friends aren't forever?  That is not healthy.  I think it was in high school when I finally understood what my parentals were getting at.  I had an overly large group of friends in general.  Guys were no big deal because I always got along with boys.  There was a group of 10 girls that we had put together.  Out of those 10 girls, I am friends with about half and talk with them every once in a while, and 4 are in my life daily.  I found that a these girls turned out to be the sisters mom and dad never gave me.  I look back, and realize that these are the same girls that I stood with in pre graduation photos.  


It's nice to know we got through high school together.... And even nicer to know that college is over for most of us and we are still tighter than a virgin.  When my dad would discuss being friends with people, he would ALWAYS say "Being friends with someone should require no work at all.  It should just come easily and there should be no drama or excess work if they are truly friends."  


Of course, he was right.  The beautiful ladies I surround myself with don't make it difficult.  AND, they know that if it was too difficult to be friends, we just wouldn't be.  No hard feelings, no drama. Hence, I think I'll keep these ladies around for a while.  


Let's see how we make it through marriages and babies.
