I was like woah.hold on a minute.now that you say that yes, thats exactly why I continue to surround myself with these people. Thats exactly why. I was too caught up in what everyone else was gonna think of me. I was too focused on how I was going to be viewed and it actually was the same reason I was so unhappy. Once Tyriek put it into perspective I realized that I needed to disassociate myself from those people. This is a huge factor in whether or not I want to keep you around as a friend. The friendships I value most are those that make me think and the friends who make me think and talk about things I don't want to touch on.

There is a certain slang word, FAMO. This term originated in DC from my friend group as we were all sitting around contemplating our group this past summer. We realized that the kids we were with (myself, Patrick, Tommy, Hayden, Adam, Tyriek, EJ, Forrest) were kids we felt so comfortable around its as if we were family. The term FAMO basically means family. You can use it in a number of ways like "Y'all FAMO", "Strictly FAMO",or even "Invite the FAMO over".

I was stressing about everything, but I remember Patrick telling me "Keep your head up man you'll get through it.
