Our friends are a better image of ourselves
We do what they do
Or try
We sing what they sing
We dress like they dress
And sometimes, we lose ourselves in the process
We lose how we used to think
We lose how we used to use our manners
We lose what we once were
Our own, individual unique personality
Becoming our friends and ourselves
All wrapped into one

My friends have definitely changed me. For better of for worse? No one knows. Not until it's really put up to the test, until you decided if pass or fail. Until that time, no one knows the answer. You must decide for yourself.
