Friends ... How many of us have them?

I've been around awhile - I've seen and had a lot of messed up shit happen to me. I'm not sure what I may have done in a past life, but in this life EVERY SINGLE ONE of my "best friends" has fucked me over and I'm not talking about they spoke shit about me behind my back (which I'm sure they do - I usually find out), but they leave me high and dry or throw me to the curb. Each time I've never been mad about it, but just highly disappointed by the cowardliness of it all. If you're going to do something don't be a little bitch about it just confront the situation. In all reality - I'm sick of the games and lies. I've come to learn that you really can't trust anyone. I need to start picking better people as my friends. Some where in the time that I've been getting older I have softened up. I'd hate to go back and be the bitch I once was, but people aren't leaving me with much of a choice.
