A guy said he fell out with his friends because they bought alcohol for him, but wonโt give him money.
Bro, they bought it for themselves. You followed them. ๐
You donโt need new friends. You need a job, discipline, and self-respect.
I can never be close friends with a man who has no discipline. The people around you influence your standards, your mindset, and eventually your life. I choose to surround myself with men who have control over themselves, their actions, and their direction.
From 11 friends to 3/4 friends ๐คฃAt this point, my friendship circle is shrinking so fast that soon Iโll be sending meeting invitations instead of creating a group chat. Growth is expensiveโฆ apparently, friends are part of the budget cuts.
You need to have something to lose to really be my friend. Iโm too old to be surrounded by people with no identity, no purpose, no reputation, and nothing at stake. I have a family, a company, and a future to protect. I need people who have something of their own to protect too.
I want to vibe alone, drink alone and enjoy my own peace. Iโm at a stage where Iโm rebranding my surroundings. I want people around me who have something to lose, something to build, and something worth protecting. No drama, no noise. Just peace, class, purpose and good energy.
As a man, you should have your own 10 Commandments, things you hate, dislike, will never tolerate, and principles you will always stand on. When people come into your life, they should know exactly where you stand Know your standards, set your boundaries, and live by them.
Protect your peace by refusing to engage with difficult people, trolls, and toxic individuals. Silence and detachment take away the reaction theyโre looking for. Not every situation deserves your attention or your energy.
Just because someone had a place in your life before doesnโt mean theyโre entitled to the same place forever.
People change. You change. Priorities and standards change.
Sometimes you donโt need to cut people off, you just need to reposition them.
The key word is REPOSITION.
People change. You change. Priorities change. Standards change. Not everyone who had access to you before deserves the same access today.
You donโt always have to cut people off. Sometimes you just need to reposition them.

If I ever decide to go back to making art, are you people actually going to support me & buy my artwork? Iโm not coming back just to have you all admire the pieces, and say, โThis is fire!โ I want to know if youโre actually ready to put your money where your appreciation is.
I donโt care how long Iโve known you. The moment you start moving corny, youโre gone. Everyone knows I donโt do friendships based on history. Respect and loyalty matter more than how long weโve known each other.
You are still stuck because youโre busy making friends with your enemies while expecting God to prepare a table before you. Psalm 23:5 says the table is prepared in the presence of your enemies. Sometimes the opposition is part of the platform God uses to display His favor.
Iโve never admired people who canโt think for themselves or stand on their own principles. If youโre easily influenced, constantly seeking approval, or allowing others to dictate your decisions, we simply see life differently.
