If you can, choose your companions wisely. These the thoughts that reverberate within, reflecting on the morning news.
I shudder now, looking back on my own youth. Even then there were aspects of those relationships which troubled me, but I was so desperate to make friends that I’d overlook them.
Friends who had been in trouble with the law. Friends in what seemed like highly inappropriate relationships. Friends with addictions, anger issues, and problems with their family.
To think I once took these young men as advisors and confidants. God only knows what they’d say on my behalf when I wasn’t around. Without a doubt, none of us knew each other at all.
