You live, you learn...

Funny, you've known someone for a couple years.

For so long, you think you are friends - but it's been mostly giving, and no receiving. Friendship is a two-way street, just as any other relationship. The bad thing is, for those couple years, you had a feeling you were being used for what you could offer.

It was only nice to talk to you when they needed/wanted something.

Looking back, those years shame you. It makes you feel pretty crappy to known you were taken, and perhaps you even feel ignorant for a short while. But, hey - at least in the end you are wiser for it all, and you can shrug your shoulders over time wasted.

You don't over extend yourself, and really - you don't care to continue the friendship anymore. You barely speak to them, and when you do, this person is an ass (whereas before you thought they were being funny or witty) but now you just see it for what it really is.

You smile, because now you know - and they most likely think you still give a shit, when you really don't. You can find the humor in it all to laugh at that person. You don't need to worry about writing that chapter in your book, for it holds no meaning.

Good luck in your future endeavors, and good riddance, you say.
