The question is how much should you trust your friend? How much information should you divulge to your friend? I have read series of books concerning betrayal by friends and wondered why loving and caring persons in one's life would suddenly turned hostile. Are you prepared for a betrayal at anytime? Are you willing to let go of a friend without thinking twice? Are you scared of your secrets? What are your fears when it comes to friendship?
Friends are important in our lives but it is important to know that they cant be compared with family no matter the role they play. We should be careful of the kind of information we give out and careful of the kind of secrets we share. Sometimes, it is better to keep a secret with yourself and be certain that only you know about a current situation. It keeps your mind at ease and sets your spirit alert.
Let me tell you a story of a friend turned enemy nicknamed him 'friendie'. My friendie was my miracle of melody, my confidant and supporter. He taught me everything about life, he coached me about love, seduction, attraction and he always reminded me about my enemies. He always brought positive vibes and encouraged me to work hard. I was very comfortable with my friendie and told him everything about myself even my family loved my friendie. I always taught friendie was an angel in disguise. When it came to my friendie, there was nothing like secrets.
My friendie was a sharp guy, he always acted plain but I suspected that he had secrets and had other plans aside what we discussed. Although I was of great help to my friendie, my friendie always wanted me to be dependent on him. Time passed and I became independent, making important decisions without involving my friendie. I met new people and made new friends that acted as my constituents because we were in for the same thing but they were not my confidants. Friendie became jealous and started acting up although I tried to keep our closeness.
Friendie became friends with people I dont flow with, he stopped calling and visiting. We barely spoke but he was still my friendie at heart. It got to a point that I moved on without considering my friendie. I forgot the sweet memories and secrets we shared. Friendie made a lot of money using my initial business plans and I wasn't bothered because I taught my plan was also my friend's plan. Friendie indirectly blocked opportunities for me but I couldn't figure out that he was doing all this. He used different smoke screens to cover his actions. There I was kicking, hoping, fighting and struggling to make ends meet but never for once did I suspect my friendie.
I woke up one morning and received a life threatening message from an unknown number. I got scared wondering how someone would know much about my life, movement and actions. The messages kept coming, I lived a life of fear and my movement was restricted. Enemies everywhere! My free life was taken away from me. Who could have done this? What is happening? Rumours kept speculating? Who was spoiling my reputation? Why was this happening to me?
I got someone to trace the number that sent me those messages. Lo and behold, it was my friendie! Jeez! Could a friend be so heartless? What was my offence? Tears gushed down my cheeks. I got the guts to confrot my friendie and can you guess his reply? He told me his actions were to teach me a bitter lesson about life and that he is unapologetic for what has happened. Could this be real? My friendie, my confidant, my everything left me BROKEN馃槬 !
