“Fair is foul and foul is fair” is what the three witches chant in Act I, Scene I or Macbeth. Discuss a time where you experienced this concept of something not always being as it seems.
Personally, I have experienced this a few too many times with people and friends. There was this one girl I met in seventh grade. She was nice, so I let her join our friend group. She got along well with everyone at first, but towards the middle of eighth grade, she began to grow cold. I found out that she made a group chat without me and this other girl (who by the way is the nicest person ever), and actually texted, “*blank* and *blank* are the new *blank* and Darian.” As you can imagine, I was furious. I brought her into my friend group, I introduced her to all the friends she had, and she stabs me in the back. Not everything is as it seems. She tried to turn us all against each other, and attempted to break apart our friend group from the inside. We all soon realized what she was doing and she left. WE didn’t kick her out. She left of her own accord.
Since then, there hasn’t been as much drama until just recently. This one isn’t as dramatic for me, but for some of my friends it is. As I talked about in the “How Tragic” journal, my friend group had some issues again. Only this time, two people I was really close with decided to leave. I’m still friends with them, but the others aren’t. It’s crazy to me because we’ve been a group since middle school, and we went through a lot together, but it all just fell apart in a matter of days. I know for a fact that bonds that are strong, will last longer than that, and if they were really friend with everyone in the gro, they would’ve at least tried to sort everything out. But they didn’t. I see this as they were either faking, or they just didn’t care as much about those friendships as I originally thought. Either way, that was definitely not how I thought this was going to turn out. I did not see them parting from the group when it first started, but I couldn’t force them.
