Hey lovelies
It's your favorite girl
Welcome to my blog
Sometimes, all we want is loyalty. Loyalty from friends, family, colleagues and our close acquaintances that we confide in or have confided in at one point or the other. It is not a news anymore that once a person is disloyal, it won't be very difficult and take a lot of time to regain one's trust.
I trust and respect you that is while I confided in you. I had the conviction that you got my back at all times and that's why I tell you things that are precious to me or things that are bothering me and I expect you to keep it to yourself and you alone. There's is this notion that is quite popular that your best friend has another best friend and the chain continues to go on and on and on. If we are to stick with this notion we wouldn't speak to anyone when we are disturbed, we'd rather keep it ourselves and get more depressed.
There are few friends that still got your back at all times. They would refuse to spill anything you share with them in confidence even if they are under duress. That's the real definition of loyalty. That is what it means to be loyal to someone - come rain, come sun, nothing changes.

There was a time I confided in a friend when I was in school that I had an F in a course and I will have to retake the course the next year. At that time I told her because I was very sad about the thought that I had a carryover and I feel she will give me heads up as my friend and assure me that it will easy for me in the next session because I have had an experience with it before and so on (just the normal pampering when you are troubled). To my greatest surprise, before the end of the week I had seen at least five people come to meet me that they heard this and that. I was dumbfounded because it was only my best friend I told and how did all these people get to know. I confronted her and she admitted she told only one person. Apparently, the one person she told, told another and the person told another person.

I saw that she wasn't loyal at that point and instantly she lost it. We were cool, no grudges but I couldn't not share confidential issues with her anymore. She has lost my loyalty.
