A very poignant statement that resonates with me deeply because multiple times in my life I’ve wished I had different friends. I felt like there was this giant gap between the people I wanted to be around and the people I surrounded myself with. Sad.
I hate being around people I wish were different than they actually are. For example I was jogging, and I saw a friend of mine and he asked me if I had a cigarette. I was like, "Do you not see me running?" WTF! Why do I have friends like this? Everybody hates people like this because these people clash with our value systems/lifestyles, etc. The problem is a lot of us try to change these clashy folks when we should simply distance ourselves from Mr or Ms. Clashy. People are who they are and we shouldn’t even try to change them. I feel like, “Ain’t nobody got time for that!”
