Y’all respect the niggas who get shot, I respect the shooters. #rocla..
 
I had cats in my teens and 20's I thought were my friends. But as time went on and I chose to leave certain things alone and they chose to live out 2nd and 3rd childhoods or do thing that your really only supposed to do in your 20's. We've grown apart. The only friend I guess I really have lives in another state. We link few times a year, set up trips shit like that! But when you grow up your circle gets smaller. It's life
This.

What we had in common when I was younger no longer exists. I still talk with them, or stop by when Im in town, but none of them are close enough to depend on or even ask for a favor (and vice versa). I lost my true best friend of 30+ years in Feb. 2019 to cancer. These days I just have acquaintances.
 
I have several that I've known since high school, so that's over 20 years there easily.

One that I knew since middle school but he passed 7 years ago.

However, the guy I call my brother, I've known him since we were in the 3rd grade. We're both 42 now. That's over 30 years of friendship. We grew up together, hangout 2 or 3 times a month, and if I need anything all I have to do is ask.
 
Hey I had a wonderful childhood growing up..

but as you PROPERLY mature, you tend to see people

for who they are, and not what you want them to be..

and although I understand why people do what they do..

Im one of the rarest muthafuckas out here, that would never

ever sell out, nobody for NO amount of money... family and friends..

I found out... there are folks out there that will kill their kind loving

mother, for a better lifestyle..

there are people that would wipe out their whole families, for shiney

monkey shit, that stays here when they pass..

that I find disgusting and thats one of the main reasons I roll dolo,

besides the fact I love my own company..

I love my own company so much, I feel guilty about it...like

do I really deserve this much happiness..

yea..

Yea I DO :lol:

Life is so strange... I been chilling with this woman lately and things are starting to heat up to the point we're close to being exclusive.

Funny thing is I've known this chic all my life. Just as long as I've known my brother, she was there also. We were all in the same 3rd grade class and although she moved around a lot when she came back we'd end up in the same class again or have classes together.

We was always cool with each other, always talking, laughing, had a lot in common... but because of who we ran with in grade school us together didn't make sense to the people around us so we kept things light. Now, all these years later, we still got the same vibes when we're together except we're grown and don't care about the opinions of others.

It's a few people that we went to school with that we've bumped into while out and they've all said how unexpected us together is. We just laugh and go about our business...
