Last night watching #InsecureHBO has me thinking about friendships--- how did you learn how to be a good friend? Or if you're being honest with yourself--you might not be the best at friendship.

In my 20's I met a friend--we hung out as thick as thieves. She told me she doesn't trust other women and not good at keeping them as friends. I always thought it was odd to hear people say that. At one point in our friendship--I could see why she didn't have many.

In NYC and happened to live across the street from each other--the wildest ish ever.. We re-entered the friendship but with boundaries.

We actually became better friends the second go around--More mature and I also learned that not everyone is going to be the friend that you are--give people space to be the best "friend" they are capable of being. I realized I can't expect certain things from all my "friends"

There was a bunch of situations that took place and I finally struck up the courage to say yo if you want to keep me as a friend--this is what I need from you.. This is very one-sided. She didn't like it and we stopped being friends. Until years later when we both lived in NYC
