Revelations

I have this friend. I've known him for many many years now, and people think we're close. Well ok, close enough to be enemies cos I don't keep friends this close. Throughout the many years I have known this person, I noticed that he would never think twice about putting down a friend, myself included, just to make himself feel better, or look better in front of others. Not only that, I have never met someone so emo, so indecisive, and so obsessed with his own little hobby that he would use friends to help him in it. He also seems to have a severe need for attention from anyone around him, and, as expected, puts people down just to get it. I could easily bring this person to his knees, but all this while I've been sparing a thought for his immensely huge ego and pride, which seems to be bigger than the universe itself.

Just the other day though, I stumbled on a friend's blog entry which seemed to be bitching about someone, and after much coaxing, I realised that she was bitching about the very same person. Then yesterday, another friend was bitching about how this person was putting her down in front of everyone that day, and how much he disgusts her. To think that I had the impression these few people were all good friends with him as well.. LOL. Well they did think the same of me.

Anyway, enough is enough. The next time I get a remark in my direction, something painful is going to be hurled back, and severing a friendship of so many years with a "friend" like this means nothing to me. Because you keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. Close enough to put them six feet under.
