										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sadly this statement isn&#8217;t true for me. This is not me trying to get a sympathy vote or people to worry about me&#8230; I learnt a painful lesson about friendship.

First of all, friendship isn&#8217;t one of those things that comes with a reference book. The most advice you get make sure you pick good friends. No definition was given to the word friend so you can imagine the confusion when a friend you pick is deemed not so good. I remember being a child and how simple friendship was. Most of the time the whole class or school is your friend until they do something you don&#8217;t like then you of them for a bit but you still go back to them. Somehow when you are young you brush things off quickly.

Somehow over the years it&#8217;s been interesting. I am not sure how I picked my friends but I must say I am pretty happy with my choices. Each and every person I have shared a conversation with has shaped my life today. I know it sounds cliché but I really appreciate it now when I look back. However, when I look back I realise that some friendships were not the best.

In particular, the ones where I invested more than I got back in return. I had to realise that a good friendship is one where there is give and take. It isn&#8217;t healthy for one person to be a giver and the other simply a taker.

It becomes toxic. Funny though cause when you are in it you don&#8217;t realise it. It&#8217;s only when you decide to be silent you notice that there is nothing coming from the other side. So yes I wasn&#8217;t such a good friend when I ended some relationships because I should have had that the decency to call and explain myself. I didn&#8217;t know what to say or how to say that our friendship was killing me. I was constantly upset because it suddenly dawned on me that I hardly knew you.

It hurt me that my life had changed and our friendship couldn&#8217;t. We both had changed and life pulled us in different directions. I didn&#8217;t want to compromise who I was becoming to satisfy who I was, so I kept quiet. For that i am sorry. Somehow I think it is okay&#8230;
