I Have a Convenient Friend.

This friend once told me that s/he were scared that the people s/he holds close to her/him as friends will some day walk out of her/his life. It isn't until right now, me sitting here, after finding something that made my heart absolutely drop to my stomach, that they don't walk out of their life. She/He pushes them away. Perhaps she/he doesn't realize it, but they do. So now, the convenient friend of mine is no longer seen as a friend. This beautiful stranger once asked me, "Why would you care about someone that doesn't care anything about you?" I told this stranger that it's because it's who am I and it's in my nature.

What I really wanted to tell her/him at that time was "Because You need me to."

And now I'm done wasting my time. So now that I have all this extra time on my hands, I'll use it towards something productive like making dope quotes. Like these:

And to believe, you once gave me hope in humanity, but instead, humanity has given me hope in you.

I knew a kid once, he lived through 19 years worth of sunrises and sunsets. He once told me, "If people open their minds before they open their mouths, this world would know many great things."

I met a man once, he was ragged with age and time. He told me, "My life is not measured in years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes or seconds; but in how many lives I changed, how many hearts I've touched and how many minds I've opened."



I am cracked and jagged
Like the sidewalk you walk upon
But I am still completely functional
And more interesting than the newly laid cement.
