Listen up for once

I have been best friends with you for five years. I have been with you through everything. I gave you advice and helped you after the same douchebag hurt you over and over again for almost a year. Hell, I helped you threw all your “heartache” in the past years that could have been avoided if you had common sense and knew that the guys you were with were no good and intended on having no future. I rescheduled dates with my boyfriend for you! But the one time I have a problem and you recognize it, you never help me. You just say you tried to help me but realized there was nothing you could do to help. What the fuck? Are you for real? You never even talked to me about it. I’m not trying to be selfish. Honestly I don’t even think I want YOUR help since you barely know how to even help others let alone listen long enough to what other people have to say. But just realize what me and the others do for you. In the five years of friendship I never asked you for shit. You barely even listen to me, you just change the subject to something that’s new with you. I honestly don’t fucking care, you complain about the same shit anyway! You go out with every guy that will give you attention. You wonder why they break up with you, you’re always looking for other people’s sympathy it seems. You act like your life is terrible, look around it’s not you have always had us there for you. Appreciate what you have and the fucking people who deal with you and your shit. —You’re Killing Me Slowly
