This post is going to be short; as it's covering one of the Aesop quotes my dad posted earlier in the week. I stick by this quote- as it has proven itself true countless times in my life. I'm sure most people have heard the quote "fake friends are like shadows- following you in the sun and abandoning you in the dark". It's quite true, and this quote just ties on to it. Hard times in your own life will not only show you who your fake friends are; but they will show you some (sometimes unexpected) true friends, as well.
Speaking from personal experience, I have gone through a few rough patches in my life- some involving personal family matters, and some involving friends and drama. In these times, I have seen people who I thought would be there for me completely shy away from me, and lose contact with me completely... and I've also seen a few people I would never have expected to step forward come out and offer me support. Life works in a funny way when it comes to situations like that. I've come to find that in the end, those who abandoned me never deserved my friendship to begin with. When they removed themselves from my life, they only did me a favor... and allowed me to make further room in my life for those who actually care about me. It's always quite noticeable when a negative leaves your life; and it is often times followed by an increase in positivity... sometimes coming in the form of a new-found friend. - Maddie
