My greatest life lesson is to pick the right friends

Last Updated on September 29, 2025

I am now 38 years old, and I have been recently asking myself why I ended up in life where I ended up: living in my parents’ basement and working as a clerk at a gas station.

It is because I picked friends not because we had things in common, or because they showed me they could be trusted or had my best interest at heart.

I picked friends because I thought they were cool. I thought if I hung around cool people, I would become cool.

That was the beginning of my demise, because my former best friend turned out to be the biggest liar and manipulator.

When picking your friends, make sure they are good people, because if you show me your friends, I will show you your future.

  1. The friends we pick makes a huge difference. Unfortunately, I picked some wrong ones too but thankfully I have a few best friends that I’m still close to that are genuinely great people.
