the more i see, the less i grow. the fewer the seeds, the more i sew.

it is a wonderful thing to have an ally in your friends every once in a while - someone who'll stick up for you when others do shitty things. for some reason though - and i speak from experience - friends often act as bystanders, letting us battle it out on our own. what's worse is the fact that they feel no sense of responsibility to do anything. they do not speak up. they do not protest. they play both sides.

i hate this. i realize that "taking sides" is uncomfortable, but what is friendship if you can't make a difficult decision? by saying or doing nothing, by not "taking sides," we support the wrongs that have been committed against those we so easily proclaim to love when things are good. seems as though everyone's afraid of offending someone in the process.

i guess i just think it's strange, you know, that it's so hard to be a friend to... your friends.
