I was thinking last night about some people I know and their friends. I have always been taught that the people you hang around are like you or at least assumed to be. This is why my mom always told me “Watch who you hang around!” or “Stop hanging with those thugs!” Well, I am finding that alot of times the people we hang around are not necessarily like us at all. Think about it…some of my closets friends have different beliefs, different values and morals. Now, I don’t hang with any hoes or thieves but my friends are all very different. The common factor is they are all funny (straight comedians actually) they all love me and accept me for who I am. They are also focused on being better people also. Sometimes I look at people (maybe in a judgemental way, so kill me why don’t you!) and I wonder “How in the hell are you both friends with each other?” Maybe one person is sweet, kind and a “people person” and they are friends with “satin’s lil cousin”. I just can’t see how they connect but I guess there is something that bonds people together that as outsiders we will never see or understand. I ask again, do birds of a feather really flock together? What do you think?
