The Not Friends

It's interesting. We almost define ourselves by how many friends we have. But most people one would consider a 'friend' aren't actual FRIENDS that will actually care if you're having trouble in your life. Sometimes you don't even find that out until you try to tell them about a problem and they move on to other things that are less depressing. It's hard when the reality hits you, it almost hits as hard as a freight train that you scream at to stop. It hurts to find out people you thought were friends were never really there for you. They just think you're cool because of your looks and personality but don't want to look to deep to see anything within. It's hard but it happens and there really isn't anything you can do about it. You can't change a person no matter how much you want to will it within your mind. Nothing is going to change unless the people around you want to change, and that is almost hopeless in most cases. So all you can do apparently, is let go and hope for the best for them. It may hurt, but it hurts more to let them use you and turn around and not listen to you.
