Don't just make friends,choose friends
Making friends is mixing loyal and disloyal,selfish and unselfish people in your life in the name of friendship but choosing is you selecting worth people into your life
Not people that would take you out and spend nearly over 10,000 shillings on a drinking spree two nights after you told them you slept hungry
Not friends who would visit you ailing in the hospital and on their way out ask how much you owe the hospital but instead of helping out would wait till you are dead and instantly be the first people to create a WhatsApp group for your burial contribution
When they did not do the same when you were ailing
Funny is the same people would be the first people in line to give you flowers( probably the first gift they had ever given you) when you are dead at a time you can't see or smell them
Where is the love in that?
That same friend on your burial day before mourners would remind your child(ren) that if they ever need anything,they should never hesitate to rush to "aunty" but you wait barely a week after the red soil has covered you whole,the tears of your child will wash the coffin that houses you afloat
And after the success of your child(ren) the same people will come forth and secure Golden seat positions in your child's life
With phrases like:
1-I fed him
2-I clothed him
3-I sheltered him
4-I educated him
Their"....Were it not for me .." Will never reveal what motivated your child to work extra hard,and you who they cried to comfort to by the side of your grave.
Don't make friends for the sake of socializing you might end up having fake friends occupying 87℅ of the people in your life
Make friends that will be there even if you are not there
Let your circle be of people who are worthy to be in your life not people who want to live in your life.
Good day!
Truth be told
