Home » Quotes [ Lesson for Life ]

Friends come and go, some leave footprints in their life while others with unspeakable scars. It will be hard to know who your true friends are until you find yourself in big trouble that is not criminal in nature, such as burying a dead body. Throughout the years, I’ve realized that they will remember not the hurtful words of their enemies, but the silence of their good friends in times of need.

      This makes a lot of sense. Betrayal for a little spotlight or validation is like the hardest thing to conceive. Even more than death.
      Someone betrays you and tells you we were not working out coz there was no trust yet they were continually betraying you. It’s even funny how they take offense when you cease to trust them.
      One would imagine that if a friendship fails, you talk about it and move on but someone can’t wait to keep around you stubbing your back a little while longer until you discover and then they give you all these excuses. Truthfully it’s the most disgusting thing i have seen in my life. Lack of loyalty. Selling one’s soul for cheap.

      He was my best friend for 5 years. My father passed away and I got a bit of money from his estate. I gave up my place of residence , bought a Motor Home , invested in real estate classes for him to take so we could leave CA. And start a business in a different state where we could make money and live out the rest of our days comfortably and financial secure. At least that’s what I believe d we were going to do. Then he helped him self to a bunch of my money with out my permission and proceded to leave me in the motorhome and took off with the truck I bought to help us move our belongings easier and all this was done in a way that i can’t even pursue legally because I can’t prove any of these things he did. He destroyed 5 years of friendship by using my trust to steel a few thousand dollars from me, which he no longer even has and is as broke as he was before he stole my money only now he has no money, no friend, and no way to get out of california or do anything with the realestate course material i pays for for him because he made a mistake and left his lap top in the motor home when he abandoned me. And does not have the money to replace it and I’m not giving it back. It doesn’t make the pain of what he did hurt any less, but it would hurt me even worse if he were to use the investment i put into our future by getting the realestate material to make a better future for himself while I am now left in a motorhome and broke because I trusted him and gave up the secure situation i had, thinking i was going to get a better one. I feel like a fool.

      My two best friends and their friends teamed up and betrayed me by pulling a prank on me. I cried and they thought they won but I cried because I knew this was going to be the last time I would ever think about them. “Don’t expect me to be there to pat your back in hard times when you stabbed mine.” Some of my own qoutes **”Don’t text me because you’re dead to me the moment you betrayed my trust and I don’t read texts from the grave yard.”
