make better friends

I haven’t made “better friends” per se. However I have weeded out the people who drained me, and only the good ones remain. Is it bad that I’m looking for more? Is it ok I want those people I can try new things with, or a scene from one of those weird girlfriend movies?

I don’t know but I’m going to find out.

Thankfully I do have a lot of great friends who are in my life. However I have a lot of shitty ones that need to go. Friends that claim they are too busy to talk or hang out but whose faces are all over club photo albums the next morning. Friends who can’t help me out even a little bit, friends who are damaged goods and don’t want to repair it.

The electronic music scene, unfortunately, is full of these fakes. People who claim I’m part of the “homies” but have never even been to my house or could even name what I like to do in my spare time. Lately I have been taking the time to distance myself from that and meet a much different set of people. On top of that, I plan on strengthening the GOOD friendships I do have.

I know I’m doing it right because the calls to go out to the latest club event have stopped. Instead I get the calls to meet my friends’ moms, dads, brothers, families, go to dinner, take trips, etc. You know, normal shit.
