Who U With?

Who you rolling with: Truez, or Acquaintances?

Truez... What could that possibly mean, since it doesn't look like an actual grammar word? If you have someone whos true though, and are in that category that not many see, you know what's going on. That person, you're folk, your dog, your roadie, your pardner, your bro, your sis, your people, your fam, your true is down no matter what's going on. Oh, you're in the wrong on something that has folks after you? So what, your true is all about let's go, I'm with you. But, if you're dumb though, and it's too obvious, than your true is telling you to your face, "You're dumb." Your true is that one that doesn't pull any punches with you in anything. You're doing good, and your true is doing good with you. You're down and out, and need some help, your true is rolling too. You mess up though, and get caught up in your own stupidity, your true is laughing at your lack of common sense, letting you take your knocks to remind you what's going on. That's just how it is, cause no matter what, your true is forever down. Different area codes, different state lines, different timezones, oh well, your true is ready at a moment's notice.

Those are your truez, your folks who you have zero worries about in anything. Now, if there aren't any truez for your inner circle, than you're running with the wrong crowd. You should be running with peoples who don't care what's going on, it's not a question where they're going to go if it comes down to it. Why run with a circle of people who let each other let each other down? If people show themselves to be expendible, then let them be and walk away.

There are folks though, that don't have the luxury of trust that enjoy the simple wind down w/ those who are trusted for now. The easiest thing of just being there could turn someone's view on a person. The visual breakdown begins all at once, like posture, style of clothes, how the clothes are worn, personal hygiene, placement of hands, shoes, hairstyle, tattoos, piercings, but the main thing, is the eyes. So that's looked at immediately and broke down. Then conversations or inquisitions begin. How are they answering? How do they act when they question? Where's their attention when they answer? These are things being answered all while questions are being flipped around. Then certain subjects might be touched, and the answers and how the answer comes are observed. Even reactions to what's going on around that person is watched too. All of this going on, and that's just upon first actual interaction. This continues for however long it takes to build any sense of trust. So when people pass enough tests, then they're in the acquaintance position. The reason for acquaintances though, is the easy detachment if need be. Maybe some quick reasoning as to why, but detachment is a certain possibility for an acquiantance.

So there are truez, and then there are those acquaintances who can both be looked at as something needed at some point in time. These might be things folks try and call friendship, but for others it's more than that. It's a twisted scenario, but necessary in some cases. Truez aren't a question, they're there for you, but then the question goes back to you: are you a true? How you answer that determines if you even have someone who's a true. Then the aqcuaintances are those who are only given so much room. The room you give them though is convenient at the time. If the understanding is there, than no problems. Acquaintances and truez are something needed at some point in time for everyone, and the management of those posisitons determine a lot for people throughout life.

Then you have those who are wondering about their position? Where do they stand? They might want to think they're a true, but only shown themselves as aquaintances. Someone like that - funny style. No need for funny style, so no need to address that. But if they feel the need to ask then something is going on, be it big or small, but something is definitely going on.

Of course, plenty of arguments can be made about degrees of percieved frienships, but these are 2 simple categories that can work just the same. You got your truez and then you got your acquaintances. If they don't fit in those categories, then it's either a process to get there, or people not approached at all for whatever reason.
