For most of my life I have tried for the most part to surround myself with positive people who make me feel good. I would say as a mere human I have been quite successful at this, save for one person. For those of you who are avid 'friends' watchers this girl is the Amanda to the Phoebe//Monica outfit. Lets call me Phoebe (because I'm quite weird, although not in the same ways) and my other good friend Monica (because she's awesome but not in the same ways as Monica) and as we already established, this other girl as being Amanda (the 'brit').
Phoebe and Monica have been friends with Amanda for years. In the last few years (mostly this happened in university), Phoebe and Monica began to feel like whenever they hungout with Amanda they felt not very great afterwards and they had little to nothing in common anymore.
Despite this, they continued their friendship with Amanda (as we know from the Amanda in 'friends' she is quite persistent). Afterwards they would always go their separate ways but since Phoebe and Monica were much better friends they would complain to each other about this friendship they upheld.
One day on one such particular outting with Amanda, she made a particularly rude and mean comment to Monica in which Phoebe was really pissed off about. However, both girls maintained their composure and after decided to no longer see Amanda.
So what do you think Phoebe and Monica did next time Amanda pestered them to hangout? We went. Yes we did. We suck. After that incident however, after Amanda had made several jibes at both Phoebe and Monica about the 'subpar' lives they were leading did Phoebe snap. She went on a huge rant (not to Amanda of course, that would have been far to practical) about how she never ever wanted to see Amanda ever again, and Monica agreed.
Anyway, for about a month now Amanda has been trying to contact Phoebe and Monica and Phoebe has told Monica that if she is going to hangout with Amanda, I'm not going with because I have decided to do some venom sucking on this particular rattler. And in all honesty, it feels great that Amanda is no longer in my life. I'm going to chance it and go all cliche on your asses and say its liberating and empowering even, that I don't have to put up with her shit anymore.
Feels good man to grab life by the balls and drag it in the direction you want. I've started doing that with other things and its been a slice. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend you do.
