Aristotle Said, "A Friend To All Is A Friend To None"

That quote couldn't be more true. I'm very weary of people who have 'many' friends; it isn't possible. I have quite a few and it's draining in it's own way so I can't imagine having many. Friendships are relationships that need nourishing, it's a garden the way I see it and not one person alone can take care of a big ass garden!

There are only 10 people I call my friends. 4 out of that 10 I consider my close friends and only 1 is my best friend. I have had friends that had many friends and they weren't good friends. 

Obviously I'm writing this post for a reason. I lost a few friends these past 2 years that I considered to be very close with, but when certain situations arisen, they didn't come through and it was a deep loss. I never thought losing a friend would hurt so much because I never really lost a friend out of the blue. You have friends that time and distance gets in between, but this wasn't the case. 

It definitely makes you re-evaluate everything and reflect, however makes you stronger and appreciate the friends that you do have and be more grateful. One of the people I consider a close friend of mine once told me that he was sad because he only has two people he can really call a friend. I told him to count his blessings because there're people who hang out with an abundance of friends and none they can really lean on.

WHAT KIND OF PHONE ARE YOU??

I don't get 'phone people', those type of people always updating their cell phones and shiz, it doesn't make any sense to me. The purpose of the phone is to call someone, so what's the deal with all those smart phones and android phones? Aren't they're the same!?



Anyways, at my internship, I'm handling a large amount of the social media aspect and just to help and make life easier I'm going to need a new type of phone and I was thinking a blackberry because I noticed a lot of people carry blackberry phones for work. I'm browsing through t-mobile and I don't understand this phone language and idgaf either. Ahhhhhhh!.....cell phones....ridiculous.....

I'm 23 and I've only had 5 phones in my entire life......yes just 5 cell phones. My first cell was when I was 10, this was when they started remodeling the cells from how they used to be in Wall Street (the movie) and I was only allowed to use that for emergencies like when my mom was late picking me up from school. My second phone was given to me when I was 12, back then it was the latest thing out, very small and sleek (motorola baby). Third phone at 15, again a small phone, wasn't the latest, but I didn't give a shiz, a phone is a phone. Fourth phone came at 18, my favorite I miss it soooooo much, it was small, black and purple, nokia...just beautiful *tear*. Now my current and 5th phone Samsung Dart, I hate it! It's everything I'm against, but my beautiful nokia died (r.i.p.) and I needed a phone that was affordable and snatched it up from HSN (Home Shopping Network). It's a touchscreen only (ew), just ridiculous.

So if you noticed, I only got a new phone every 3 years, because I only bought a new phone when ran it's course, I was never and still am not one of those people who just get a new phone because it comes free with re-newing a contract; that's so stupid. Don't get trapped in that 'lightbulb theory' shiz.

And I can go ON about how android and stupid smartphones are a tool for the gov't to keep track of you and shiz, but I love my life so no.
