Basic Survival: Put up the peace sign. Put the index down...

So I awoke this morning as any other morning thanking God for seeing another day and asking for guidance thru this one for my family and friends. But my mind started going on the meaning of friendship and all that it entails (actually for a couple of days now). I know a good amount of people and as kool as they are, I do not consider all of them my friends. People are put in your life for some sort of reason, some to ride with you, and some that ride against you. But we cannot forget the ones that want to ride around you- often seeming to be all for you, when in actuality they are watching your every move to take over. Not meaning conquering you, but conquering what you have acquired: self confidence, good friends, your sense of style, and even love. They might have been called in the past leeches, or as 389 Crew might call them "aliens," but someone once told me a term that I believe explains it well: "Frenamy." Yes, readers- in this day in age, you have to be on the lookout for those who are afraid to create their own atmosphere, think of an original idea, and definitely the ones that are dangerously in support of you. So keep the close ones close and weed out the maybes.

Be blessed,
