Writer’s Workshop: You Should Know This

This week this visual prompt in Mama Kat’s Writer’s prompt really “spoke” to me. Like Kat I too have seen this message circulating around in Facebook.

I’ve been thinking quite a bit and revaluing the friendships and acquaintances that I have. Should I keep them or just ditch them?

It can be quite frustrating when you try your best effort to keep in contact with a person but she/he constantly finds excuses and constantly reschedules meet up dates or doesn’t reply when you try to confirm an appointment. You realized that you haven’t even met up for nearly 10 years even though she lives around the corner!!

It’s really obvious  it’s time to ditch that person when someone seems too busy to even schedule meet up for a coffee but is able to answer the questions you post on Facebook.   It only shows how “fake” she can be and the value she places on her friendship with you.

There is no point reminiscing on the good times you had together or how faith has led to you crossing path and how you met each other. The other party clearly does not appreciate your efforts to maintain the friendship.

Friends/People come and go but only the  genuine ones will stay.
