From the heart

Four black teens in Philadelphia with nothing other than weekly tranpasses and opinions. Still, the criticism and general interpretation seem to change from day to day regardless of aforementioned teens consistency.

Whatever. We're not doing anyone some terrible injustice, and we don't claim to be changing the world or enlightening the folk beyond belief or recognition. Credences, food for thought, images, a few laughs here and there, and opinions are all that we can offer you. Whether you choose to accept or decline, you are here, as are we, daily.

To face the rain or sunshine, parade or riot, cookout or Saturday detention..We ride Septa.

Crevices of the mind: Friendship

I'll warn you all before you read this..I might get a tad bit mushy and over dramatic. Shit, you might not want to read this if we're not close..You might get jealous haha. *COUGHS* I may or may not be under the influence of something but that is far beyond the point.

I love my niggas. Past & Present.

A best friend is the best thing that you can have next to money, an abundance of "Sunday Bests" & an entertained sex drive. I have to ask though (cliche as the question might be)..When the guala, wardrobe, and sexual appetite are gone..What (rather, WHO) are you going to have?

My ace boon coons and I can reign over Mt. Airy, the mall, the cheesecake factory, the r7, suburban station, the train tracks on the hill, on my roof or wherethefuckever and just appreciate each other's company. The times that I enjoy the most are when we just stand around, sit around or lay around; Saying everything but absolutely nothing at the same time.

In spite of it all (the fights, the lies, the rainy days, and the third parties) I know that there are certain folks that I will always have love for. Love like, "We haven't had a real conversation in months but if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, a dorm room to sneak into, or my last dollar..I have you, undoubtedly." That is LOVE.

My definition of "best friend" is different for every single person (I'm sure that it's a relative term anyway). It'd just be unrealistic to expect identical behaviors & actions from different people. The beauty of having multiple best friends is that I share something original and untainted with each of them.

Telling someone that they can have "MAYBE one or two" best friends is like telling a hopeless romantic that they can only fall in love once. No no no! Do you want a series of suicides on your hands, partner?!?!?! Fuck that.

Friendship is something that you can't put a limit on and because it involves love, you can't just throw it away either. Certain situations might alter a relationship with a friend, but even a series of bad circumstances won't stain one of my friendships

Yadadamean? A bond is something that you don't just kick to the curb. Imagine waking up to a world without someone that you haven't spoken to in months (over something petty). That type of situation would eat at my soul until I was no more. How about you?

...Nine broken paragraphs & Ten individuals later, I think I'm done being with being sensitive.

All the same, "My friends, I wish the best for you forever on."
