alone

Today I'm irritated with people who completely throw away friendships because they are too prideful. Even though it happened a long time ago, I still can't get over it. It amazes me that anyone can be so selfish as to not have any room in their lives for not only friends, but people altogether. How is that even possible? The worst part is watching them fail and throw everything else away as well. Didn't they know they wouldn't make it alone? People need people. People need acountability and encouragement and sometimes people need a swift kick in the pants. When they're getting nothing from anybody because they think they've got it all under control on their own, that's when they're screwed. Alone, they'll learn they were wrong. Alone, they'll hit the bottom and have no help up. Alone, they'll sit and wonder what went wrong because chances are, they were too self involved to see the people who used to stand by to help... and now they are gone.
