Politically pleased

He lives in a time where having friends is a must and an important part of who he is.  They are the people we turn to when we need to let loose and have fun and even the people we turn to after a breakup when we just need someone to listen and pity us or be brutally honest with us. As a kid he had plenty of friends, almost everybody in his cohort in school he knew by name and they would know him as well. But fast forward to when it wasn’t school days anymore and the people he knew in school were just that, a memory. They’d all grown up and they all had their own goals in life. But to him he viewed it differently. Why did people stop putting in effort? Was it too bothersome to put an effort to make a friendship last? But over time he actually came to accept the world as it had become. The phrase was always true in the aspect that you couldn’t choose your family but you could choose your friends. This attributed to him being a person who was always alone. People would tell him that his view wasn’t that of someone who had accepted loneliness but someone who was being negative and wasn’t making the effort. But to them they never knew how much of an effort he always put into a friendship because to them he was a man who had given up. To those who knew him personally he was always there for them whenever they needed it, and he’d always be there still if they needed him. But nobody seemed actually care about him. Most notably whenever his ‘friends’ got into a relationship they’d immediately forget about him and would only remember his existence if they had an argument with their other half or needed some monetary help. So to him he was alone not by choice as well but because the world simply didn’t care about him and he had come to accept that his purpose in life was to make others around him happy but for him to always be alone. A curse he never wanted to apart of. Looking back, he lost more of himself through ‘friends’ rather than when he fell in love. And now at his age as time catches up to him, he still stands alone because nobody really cares about him anymore. And he’s come to accept it because such is life.
