Class, Grade, Lifetime

Hello friends, it's been a while...my apologies. A while ago I was watching Radio Free Roscoe, which is a dope show...about 4 kids in high school who create a radio station and are anonymous, so they're free to speak their minds. Any ways...in one episode...one dude talked about how there are 3 types of friends...a class, a grade and a lifetime. Sometimes you're friends with someone for only a class...no more than a 'hey man' in the hallways...but that's all it's supposed to be. Then there are the friendships that seem like they're gonna last forever...you're best friends, super close, but then...just like that you move on. Then there are the friendships that do last forever...they have no expiration date, they just keep going and going. He then goes on to say..."when you know where you stand with a friend, you know how to act". When I first watched this episode...I was like wow...TRUTH am I right? How many of those friends or 'acquaintances do we know where we're only friends with them cuz we've been in like on class with them...they're a friend of a friend...you'd never ask them to hang out at the mall or invite them to your birthday...but if you saw them it'd be like hey what's up, how've you been, it's been a while. What about the friends for a grade...people you spent a considerable amount of time with...an entire year...since it is a grade...you guys are real good friends, you laugh, you joke, you talk...but after you move on to the next grade...you stop being friends...there's nothing there for you guys. How many of these friends do you know...a log came to my mind...certain things bring us together...sports, evens or occasions...and we get real close because we spend so much time together during certain times or events like if you go to a summer camp or join a club or something for a period of time...you meet lots of friends, become good buddies with people...but after that event or time...that's it...you had your moments but it never carried on. Then of course there are the friends that last a lifetime...your homies...your day 1's....your ride or dies. The people who've seen and been through it all. The people you either spend the majority of your time with...OR the people you may not necessarily see often...but when you do, it's as if nothing has changed. Those are your lifetime friends...when even tho you don't see each other often...when you do...it's all love and you guys never miss a beat. I reiterate the quote that the dude said again..."when you know where yous tand with a friend, you know how to act". When you know who are the people in your life and what they represent to you...every thing becomes so much simpler. It isn't about how big or small your circle is...but how tight that circle is.
