So pretty much trying to still clean house this
weekend. The Houston job search has been progressive,
heard back from 2 places, nothing much, but at least I heard from someone. Already have put the tree up, yet my lil sis
said she wanted to decorate it, but she hasn’t got to it yet so I have a bare
white tree in my living room.
But have received some bad news yesterday.
My former friend I’ve known for years have
been sentenced for a year for domestic violence – 1
st degree, which
they said was previously 3
rd degree.
I have kept away from him for a while because although he was my friend,
I keep hearing things from other people about what was going on & some
people was afraid of me hanging out w/ him may hurt me.
Also heard rumors that he had messed w/ a
girl who was 16, a year older than my sister.
Even his mother & grandmother are being distant w/ me because they
felt I should have helped him change, yet I’ve already been talking to him for
years.
Had to pull the plug, I just
couldn’t be associated w/ that.
But thinking over some of the events w/ people this year, I
understood God showed me that my circle of friends had to become more
defined.
I lost at least 2 close friends
this year but gained a few others, even if they do live outside of my
city.
Also have been involved w/ the Blues
Society, Im one of only 2-3 paid black members out of 70+ people, but they are
cool, got to just talk & be w/ a more mature crowd & network, one of my
friends in it trying to get me to be one of the chair heads.
Between my twitter friends that I got closer
to (all of them are pursuing their goals) & the people in the Blues
Society, I have developed a friends circle that may be a bit smaller but they
are positive people that I feel equally yoked to.
The lesson: I know it might be ok to have a lot of friends,
yet sometimes it better to have a handful that’s gonna have a positive
influence on life.
Its like what my
pastor said: I would rather have a small real diamond that a big fake one.
