Oh It’s Like That? The Art of Cutting People Off & Feelin’ A Way About It by @Rahim_VladTV

“Lost a couple friends, this whole shit got weird.” – Jay-Z, Do You Wanna Ride,  Kingdom Come

So let’s get right into it.

I won’t slander this female whatsoever because, that’s not what this is about. This isn’t a diss song, it’s a real song.

Also, she’s a very amazing person, pretty inside and out, and we’re ultimately on the Same Team.

But I feel some kind of way.

So today right, I get a phone call from an old but new friend. An old friend because I have known her for a while, but new because I have literally only seen her once or twice. (Friend #1)

That conversation went great, and we ended up building, but the person was calling in reference to ANOTHER friend, who I have known even longer, and had conversation upon conversation with, and even extensively engaged in business with in the past.

So friend 1 asks about friend 2 (on a business level).

I say “oh yeah sure I know her, she’s great and I would connect you two, but we just don’t speak as much.“

Then I decided that because I love to build bridges for people so that they can network, I’ma link this.

Ayit, bet.

I’m like, let me hit up friend #2 so I can co-sign friend #1….

I’m already on facebook, so let me just send friend#2 a quick message and see what she thinks.

So I try to type F#2’s name in the search bar, and NOTHING COMES UP.

wait...

Ayit bet, so now eyebrows raised, I go and type in their name fully and I get this:

got 'em?

So the first thing I think to myself is, THAT SON OF A ……. what the hell?

Note: Removing someone on facebook is like damn. Twitter, yeah you unfollow someone because maybe you don’t want to be exposed to their tweets all day…but deleting someone who you are friends with in real life from your facebook page is like throwing a bone into quicksand and sending your dog to go get it. You’re really not interested in seeing them in any way shape or form again.

So then, I go on an analytic rampage, trying to come up with all the reasons why friend #2 would do that, I don’t remember ever having beef with them or any situation where we wouldn’t at least be cordial. And I couldn’t come up with any. In my mind, I begin to try and come up for reasons why I shouldn’t like the person. That’s pretty wack, I know but I felt as if them not liking me would justify my childish thoughts anyway. Also, I can think whatever I want, so thanks.

“(S)he who does not feel me is not real to me therefore they don’t even exist so poof, vamoose son of a b….”

Yeah I look to rap verses sometimes to put things in perspective. You’d do it too if you were me.

So I’m starting to get all crazy, trying to come up with beef, put pieces together, and I even get angry at myself for still co-signing her even after we ceased working together, all that.

So here’s the kicker: I go one last time and type in her name…scroll down the page, and BAM.

She has two accounts.

We were connected on her primary account the whole time.

Get it?

There’s a moral to this story.

I felt all betrayed and upset those whole 15 minutes, FOR NO REASON.

I actually found this out while I was throwing darts at a picture of her writing this blog…at first I didn’t know what direction I was going with it but here I am.

Hopefully I could help “learn us” a little something about our friends, old and new.

ASSumptions are still alive, they just be concealing it.

Premature judgement is like premature ejaculation… too much, too soon.

Catch my drift?

Now forward this to someone who you haven’t spoken to in a while, and see if you can hash out some foolishness, that you know was really YOUR FAULT not that serious.

Comments? Want to just make laugh at me for being wrong? Go for it below.

Friend #2 will probably read this…my bad!

Hey at least I didn’t badmouth you to anyone else still, even when I was “mad.” Let’s hug it out one day.
