A Word from Wellin’

Ma Duke lied… you’re not special.

Now on to this Prompt…

Who said you have to grow up to be grown?

When I was a child, I treated my friends like my brothers or sisters from another mother. We fuse like Trunks and Goten into a new entity! We were so close our parents had a problem with how we didn’t understand why we weren’t siblings.

Fast forward to adult life. You can’t do that shit now. It’s downright foolish, right?

And you would be correct… You can’t just pick yo homie’s cup up and sip… You might die; literally.

Damn Folkz, it’s like that? Naw, bruh, it is that.

Adulting adds factors that children never had to consider, to an extent. But why? True, our parents are correct. Certain biological dangers are out of a child’s control, but the actions and the emotional connection aren’t.

So, did I change how I view friendship? No.

Did I change who and what I allow to carry that title? Damn, smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy!

N-e Who…

My name is Kinfolk Wellin’, and I appreciate your time and support.

Aight Gang!
