Friends: love-hate relationship

friends are an interesting subject for me...good ones are hard to come by (Thank you ngoc for being a good one!)…

and then there are others that annoy the hell out of me. A lot of times I think I am too nice to people and they think that because I'm nice, it gives them the right to walk all over me. This has happened several times with one friend in particular and I can not stand it anymore. (An example is asking me to go to a dance with her and then completely ditching me for the rest of the night for another friend---if you didnt want to hang out at the dance with me, THEN WHY EVEN ASK ME TO GO WITH YOU!! I'm just sick of it. My dance teacher said something really interesting the other day about friends:

"You can tell if a friend is a good one based on the way they walk when they are with you. If they walk with you and keep to your pace, then they are friends that will stick by your side. On the other hand, if they walk ahead of you and not realize where you are, then they are not a good friend. For the friends that walk ahead...why would they care about you in the future if they don't even care where you are now."This quote from my dance teacher really got me thinking and I noticed that the one friend that I am annoyed with happens to be the type of friend that walks ahead of me. Surprise, surprise...
