Flo gets ready for the cameras By Me

It’s Pet Peeve time

I, at times, wanna just cut the fat with who allow into my life. I consider most people now to be a positive influence on my life, but on the same end there are those who i feel "drain" me in one way or another; Those who haven't really embraced me for me. Those who i can't call a friend or someone i am interested in. Those "in-betweens" that i am not sure about having in my circles; why they interact with me; why i feel like i am getting nothing out of having them there.

And yes we are getting something in return even in friendships. It's no different than any kind of interpersonal relationship. Intimate relationship --- you get PDA, sex, love, support, exchange of thoughts and ideas, trust. Friendship-- support, love, exchange of thoughts, trust, can lead to sex (LOL). Acquaintance -- you get minimal exchange of ideas, hang out partner, and hook ups, some trust. "In-betweens" -- exchange can be one way, walls are hella high, they seem not to trust u and/or vice versa, or their agenda is very fuzzy (this isn’t out of paranoia by the way).

So now I also can’t deal with much from people who use the “excuse” “we’re different” to justify not dealing with folks on any level. I don’t think we always need yes people or to have same opinions all the time. It would get boring and unrealistic. EMBRACE DIFFERENCES – Damn US is the last place to expect this from. *Sigh*

Most of all, I “hate” people who don’t COMMUNICATE! Get your weight up and “grow up.”

As for me I am just trying to GET GROWN.
