Never forget that shit. Even if you are completely different from the niggas around you it should still make you stop and think “Would I want their behaviors, mannerisms and attitudes associated with me?” If the answer is a resounding “FUCK NO!” the get the hell outta dodge. The people around you should all be of like and sound mind. They should be moving towards the same goals and milestones as you. If your goal is to be basic then congrats because you get to let the same bum ass niggas you hang with drag you down until you have nothing left with no guilt whatsoever. Now if you wanna be a real one then you gotta cut these niggas off and let them sink or swim on their own. It’s not harsh it’s just life. My life is too valuable to me to let someone hold me back and bring me down.
I’d much rather watch them die (figuratively speaking of course ya fucking idiot lol) then have them be the anchor on my legs pulling me down until I suffocate and drown. I’d rather it be you than me. My dreams and goals are more important than anything that type of person has to offer. If you keep them around its tantamount to domestic abuse. They hurt you but because you remember the ONE time they did something nice for you, you just run back; FUCK THAT. Cut them off and cut that shit the fuck out. Relationships are transactional. Period. From Spousal relationships to friendships, if they’re not adding something good to your life then they have to go. A lot of you niggas throw that “friend” word around but most of them niggas in your circle are barely even acquaintances. LET. THEM. GO. You’ll move faster, accomplish more and feel as though a weight has been lifted. So I reiterate; Let them go and move on. I promise you’ll be better for it.
