Friends With No Filters

Hey, this topic has been in the works for awhile. I apologize for the delay.

Friends with no filters? Friends with no filters are those people in your life that keep it 100% with you no matter what. Instead of being nice, they tell you exactly what the deal. I feel that we all need these type of people in our lives.

Have you ever been out, see a group of people and that one person in the group who looks totally jacked up? You sit and think to yourself “so you have all those people around you, your so called “friends”, and no one has the strength to tell you to get your ass back in the house and change?” The world is twisted like that. That is why we rely on that one friend with no filter to check us sometimes. Sometimes we have the thought in the back of our minds that we don’t want to hurt someones feelings, but its better to hear it from your friend then a complete stranger. It hurts more if you hear it from a stranger, then you look at your friends and say “why didn’t one of you tell me?”

Everyone needs a friend with with no filter, and I bet half of you can already identify a couple of your friends who verbalize everything. Its better to have those people close to you to give you constructive criticism about everything not just what you wear. Trust me, its better to hear criticism from your close friends then a random stranger.

Consistency . . .

Hey, as the title suggest I will be touching a little bit on consistency. For some of you that get my morning texts or just know me, I really like people who are consistent. One of the best qualities to have is to be consistent in everything you do. Consistent with friendships, relationships, communication, feelings, things you do, etc.

One of the biggest things a lot of people from this current generation lack is consistency. I will let you take a minute to think about it. You know a couple people who aren’t consistent with whatever they say/do and fail to follow through with whatever they say/do. For example, a friend says they are going to help you with a project until it is finished. They help you one day but for the next 3 days they don’t help you because they don’t feel like it. Being consistent is one of those things not everyone is capable of and once you find the people who are, it’s always good to keep them around.

If you are a consistent person dealing with a person who isn’t consistent and/or people who aren’t use to the consistency, it becomes really annoying. Tends to make you fall back from that group of people and want to deal with more consistent people. Sometimes, people tend to undervalue how being consistent makes you different from the crowd. Take a moment to observe who is consistent in your life . . . .

(Poem) The Other Guy . . .

Yeah . . .you know the other guy
The reliable one
The one who respects you
The one who is there for you no matter what
The one you never noticed until you need him
The Other Guy

Always the one you need to talk too
Always the one that’s around when you need him
. . . .but never good enough to date

The one who listens to you for hours, instead of getting sleep
The one who supports you no matter what is going on in his life
The Other Guy

The one you complain to about how “ALL guys ain’t shit”
The one that randomly gets you flowers . . . .just because . . .
The Other Guy

The person you won’t notice until he has actually found someone who appreciates him
The person you won’t notice until your phone calls and texts messages are no longer a priority
The person that cared for you the most
. . . .but you mistreated because you loved chasing your heartbreakers
The Other Guy

(Poem) Beautiful . . .

What is considered beautiful?
Why do you kill yourself to fit peoples definition of beautiful?
Why must you impress others before impressing yourself?
Why do you let what people say affect the beauty you already posse?
Why must I get the text message that asks “Do you think I’m beautiful?”
Why must I have to see you cry . . . because you think you’re not beautiful enough?
Why must you starve yourself for days to be the worlds definition  a size smaller?
Why must I see you put a pound of make up on your face to cover up the beauty I see?

What I see is beautiful
What I see is beauty through the words that hurt you
What I see is beauty through the insecure text messages
What I see is beauty through the tears
What I see is beauty through the many different sizes

What I see is beauty all around you
. . . .from that beautiful smile

To the way you teach ME how to dougie
. . . .from the personality that attracts me

To the way you steal my gummy bears  and make me smile
YOU ARE beautiful . . . .in every shape and form
YOU ARE beautiful . . . .because you love yourself
YOU ARE beautiful . . . .
