Where does your loyalty lie?

This has popped into my mind much too often over the past few years (since graduating, to be exact). It never used to be a concern, but now its like word of the day. Everyday.

So many times, I've lost myself in thoughts about the people in my life.

Are they there for a drink and forgettable (regrettable) night out?

Or are they there to embrace the highs and lows of petty-what-do-I-wear/important-should-I-get-a-tattoo/life-changing-will-I-get-arrested-for-this decisions you have to make?

Along the way, I'm sad to say, that many have dropped like flies.

Although it wasn't intended, it is probably for the better. Or at least that is what fate believes.

But as a deserving trade-off, the sky has cleared up and I can see who is deserving of my loyalty and vice versa. I don't say this in the attempt to liken myself to royalty, I say it in the voice of a young woman, recently ridded (might not be a word) of her teenage years.
