Assalamualaikum~

Over the years many people have come in and out of my life and I realize now that there is a growing difference between my real friends and my acquaintances. Although there are many sub-categories of friends, just as there are many sub-categories of aquantinces, for the sake of argument I group them into only these two categories. Real friends care about you, they care about what you are doing with your life and support you whether they agree with what you are doing or not. Real friends are there to lend an ear when you need to talk and will offer advice like only a real friend can. However, most importantly, real friends respect you.

Acquaintances come into your life more based on circumstance than by choice and while we can be, and often are, friendly to our acquaintances, by no means do they fit into the friend category. Often acquaintances use you to fullfill some need they have, in other words they have an agenda. When you talk to aquantinces they do not listen as a friend would, they hear only what pertains to them and could care less about everything else. At times distance and seperation can influence the closeness of a relationship, but a true friend will remain a true friend despite it all. When you speak with these people, even if significant amounts of time have passed, you realize that they are still your true friends and often times an even better friend due to that separation.

By no means is any person permanently categorized into either category, as an aquantince can most certainly turn into a friend and unfortunately the opposite is also true. As I grow older I am becoming more and more selective over who I spend my time with. And as true friends are revealed to me this choice is becoming easier and easier to make. I have many goals in life, and since we are here for such a short time I want to and will surround myself with those that will help me fullfill my dreams, my real friends. There is no longer any time to waste with aquantinces, I am here on earth to accomplish big things and damn anyone who will hold me back.

I truly feel fortunate for what life has presented to me thus far in life, and to all my real friends who help me survive day after day I thank you. Now lets together take over the world!
