All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players:

People always say that you have to have trust in people, you have to have faith. I ask them how can you have faith if everyone who has ever come into your life has found some way to let you down. How many friends have I had befriend me for all the wrong reasons, or use me for their own benefit. How many friends have I had just talk to me when it's convenient for them or if no one else is around. I'm tired of having people bring me into their life and then just shoving me back out again. I'm tired of caring when someone is mad at me for reasons that have no morality in life anyway. I'm tired of apologizing for being who I am. I'm never going to not be me. I'm never going to pretend to be something that I'm not or act a certain way just to keep a friend. I don't need friends that badly. If you're a friend you don't bring your religious, political, racial, or any other kind of belief or issue into that friendship. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and their own customs if we decided our friendships solely on if those people shared the same mindset as we do then this world would be full of mindless cliques that all think and act the same way and i'm sorry but I don't see the point in that. People get along because they are different. Humans are meant to compliment each other, not everyone is going to believe in the same thing and that's what makes life interesting. If someone judges their friends and tries to change them according to their own beliefs then that person needs to seriously rethink their outlook on life because you shouldn't change anyone to fit your criteria. If you have a problem with somebody you should tell them. Life is too short to wonder if someone is mad at you all the time and life is also to short ot get mad at people for petty things. No one is perfect, and yes people are going to screw up once in a while. It's up to you to be the bigger person and accept this and actually take people for what they are not the mistakes they make. Since I was in elementary I have been afraid of trusting someone and I have always been insecure in friendships. Either i've thought that someone is mad at me, or I thought that I did something wrong. I would always end up apologizing for something that i was never at fault for in the first place. But in the end it turned out to be that friend just using me for their own benefit. So i'm through with apologizing for being me, for what i say, what I do, what i wear, what i like, the music i listen to, and what i believe in. This is me, take me for who I am, make your opinions. Fire at will. Words can't break me anymore. Let's see who the true friends are now cause i'm sick of adding names to an endless list of disappointing people.
