For Their Amusement

Sometimes, we feel we aren’t wanted. We are just some sideshow attraction our friends hang out with because they want something from us. It could be our appearance, intelligence, or just the fact they need a punching bag. Someone who they use to make themselves feel better. Those aren’t our friends. True friends accept your failures and your successes. They make your life better by helping you improve it, not by using you for their own purposes.
