"Tell your boyfriend if he says he's got beef, that I'm a vegetarian and I ain't ****** scared of him."

Here is the deal.

If we are friends

that is-
if I make a point to say hello to you in the halls at school
if i give you a hug, or a smile,
or i even happen to *like* your status on FB or photo on INSTAGRAM.

if we are friends to any degree
this is not a mistake.
I don't keep people in my life who are not people i enjoy.


but here's the thing.
i can't be friends with everyone all at the same time.
no one can.
there are groups of these 5 people
and these 10 people
and these 3 people
and each group, big or small, is important to me
but not all the same people fall into all the same categories.
so sometimes i hang out with group A, and sometimes group B, and sometimes just a handfull of random people from both groups A & B.

If you are feeling like I exclude you from my life
TALK TO ME
I can't fix something if I don't know its a problem.
If you have had your feelings hurt by something I have done, lemme know.

We are adults. I don't spend my time with people who arent.
So be an adult and let me know you're upset
and I'll do what I can to fix it.
If you want to party with me
LEMME KNOW
shoot me a text, a phone call... something.
and If i don't reply,
don't take it personally.
i'm sure we can find another time to party.
I'm a grownup
Looking to be surrounded by other grownups
Who are secure enough in themselves to not be offended if they arent invited to something.
Because we can't all be invited to everything.

I'm not the kindof person to exclude people on purpose.
But I am the kindof person who only spends time around the people who will make me the happiest.
And if we've ever spent any time together in any capacity, you're probably one of those people.
So just take a breather.
I'm not anyone's enemy
I'm not out to hurt feelings.
I'm just looking to be a happy, positive, open-hearted human.
And that's all I'm going to keep working towards.
