The Love of Friends: I Am My Brotha’s/Sista’s Keeper

THE LOVE OF FRIENDS… 

☆ Learn to meet people where they are. (Or, perhaps, not at all; that it’s always an option too!) 

☆ As relationship dynamics change, learn to simply rearrange others on the proverbial “bookshelf of life,” as deemed necessary. ~ Ms. Giggers (a.k.a. “Jetty”)

☆ Everyone may not agree with you, believe in you, &/or see things the way you see them. And, it’s ok. You cannot stress yourself out or waste your life away trying to please others; it is not their life to lead. 

☆ “Friends [really] are the family we get to choose.” Choose wisely.

☆ “They come & they go…” That’s just life. ~ One of my Dearest Alzheimers Patients

☆ Ask yourself, “Which is better–the devil you know or the devil you don’t know?!” Only you can answer that question. ~ Sade (a.k.a. “Star”)

☆ You ARE the company you keep. 

 ☆ Your word is your bond & it really is all you got! If you cannot be counted on to keep your word, you simply cannot be counted on. Period. 

☆ Bottom Line (or, as my Spelman Sister, MO would say, “TOP LINE!”): Always “be ’bout what u say u ’bout!” ~ Salae

☆ “Everybody can’t go;” it’s just that simple! ~ My Little Sis, Tash
