Friends And Associates Its A difference.

You know people like to use that word friend loosely, but i know the difference you have friends who you may not see for months or a year,but when you do see each other you pick right up where you left off like time has never left, then you have friends you see everyday,but associates are those who will only deal with you when you are relevant,but really only wanted to be around you when you where needed those are not true friends those are associates,if you can text that person or call that person then you will know if they are true friends or not by there responses if they cant respond or act like you dont exist then they are asscociates its that simple, i got and example my dog sean bean friends with him since 1996 21 years dogs for life we might text a couple times a week we hooked up went to the michigan game last month had a ball just like old times a true friend i been gone away from chrysler since 2009 homie never acted any different thats a true homie and i have plenty of friends like that koron been homies since 1995 22 years text talk like we never left when we see each other pick right up like no time has passed,but then you have those who will say they were with you as a alibi but yet you havent seen them in years those not friends or associates and then you have your boys from the tracey crew randy, tee, rashard dre,dada, leaonard those are your childhood homies they go in another category but those are friends for life so people need to quit calling people friends just because cause everybody not your friend, they associates and some are not even that real talk, and for those that i talk to now on the regular my boy dre,hornerpitts,spooney the boxing guru my boy greg the whole tracey family is doggs for life no matter what and my chrysler family that i keep in touch with doggs for life but the others just associates just telling the truth.
