Lurch Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Might be best suited in Love & Life But still just felt to put it down somewhere...Just now at the gym I see someone who was once my best breh from when we was small, like 9 years old until we was about 14.Back in the day mans used to roll deep together, we used to kick two ball, spend hours on the PSOne, hit up all these places like the fair and city centre where we'd see what all the girls were on etc.There'd be other brehs we'd roll with but this one boy used to bell my house phone (no one had a mobile when you were 9 years old in them times) everyday cos it was kinda f*cked for him cos mans parents were going through a breakup so he just used to cotch at mine all the time.Cos of his parents divorce (sh*t went on for a few years) there was bare fighting over custody and man went off to some next city. Few months down the line he was back for good and he'd still holla at me on a regs but then things began to change after a while.One of his next brehs would stir between us and our friendship just dissolved and plus we were heading in different directions. But now I see this boy (and he is still a boy though..) mans about 22 now (year and a half older than me) and he's shotting off the block, rollin in his V6 Motion, makin bare p etc while I try and concentrate on Uni.And I just think to myself now (and I've never thought about it all these years, at all) is - this was my best breh when we were younger, I knew all the sh*t he went through, we'd roll for hours everyday without fail and now I can barely even give him a nod of acknowledgement or say a word to him.How sh*t changes.Drop your stories of brehs from when you were younger who you don't speak to no more if you want.

BLACK VICTIM Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I had bare best friends growing up, I still chat to them all, but they were way too boring for me.

Ankle Murda Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 used to roll with alot of guys, that i walk past on a daily basis.nas said it best'a thug changes, love changes, and best friends become strangers ...'BANG, beat me to it.Those bars were the first thing to come up in my head when I read this topic.I'm actually getting depressed now (again), been dwelling alot recently, so many people in old ends I wish I still stayed in contact with. I'm still cool with most people I grew up with though.But on the other hand there are many d*ckheads I was cool with back then that I'm glad I don't speak to now because of the choopidness they get up to. Shoudn't have been cool with them in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurch Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm not dwelling on the past and don't think anyone should dwell on brehs that have gone down the wrong path or any girls for that matter.If anything I'm glad I kept away, though the lifestyle and p's is appealing there's so much more satisfaction in earning it the right way.I have many stories of other brehs too who are just wasting away. Some brehs from them days when we were youngers we had so much in common but it's like just one day it became as if we barely know each other, just like Bane said.Before, these brehs lived off their parents or off small hustles to feed their frequent weed habit and now all of a sudden they work a 9-5 on minimum wage they think they're making waves to get one foot on the property ladder and also feed their weed habbit etc. But in reality they don't understand, it ain't as easy.Some mates I try and explaining sh*t to but they just don't get the message. I do try with them but they don't get it, it saddens me cos when they do it'll be the hard way.TBF on them I matured a lot earlier, by the time I was 16 I was working while at college and at 17 I became a team leader at my part time job (no boasting) while they dropped out of college so we all went down totally different routes.

A Bit Better Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Had one bredin that lived on my road called Liam. We jammed together like every day during summer and then after school etc. for about 3 years. We were young, like 6 and he was a couple years older than me. His family moved away and he gave me the house number and told me the area they lived in but I was a kid, lost and forgot it all.Skip to year 7 or 8, I'm at school in Chelmsford and one of my friends says he goes to this summer camp every year. I go with him that summer and some little sh*t starts pissing me off. I tell him to f*ck off and his older friend comes over and we're about scuff when the friend suddenly says my name and it turns out to be Liam! Some ranomd sh*t. Turned out that the place that his family had moved to was Chelmsford. Caught up and jammed all week and swapped mobile numbers.Still didn't keep in touch. Even more years down the line, I'm about 16 or 17 now and I see him at Shenfield train station on my way home from school. Man joined the army and had just got back from Afghanistan. Probably wouldn't even recognise him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Gekko Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Was thinkin bout this earlier today because what someone said to me on friday in collegeThis one lad i was just sittin there chillin havin a casual conversation with him just randomly says hes proud of me and suprrised i made it into 6th form and that because of what i used to be like and who i used to roll with (still speak to a few of them on the regs now)Too many of the people i was with back the last couple of years are f*cked now, a couple been sent down, few gone off the rails and just on some karnage type thing where they feel the world is out to get them then theres me, the only one who managed to mature before the rest and stick on at school and kept my head down because i clocked it was goin nower doin the stuff we wereThings can change so quickly, mine was in the space of a year it was a MASSIVE change that had been buildin up since year 5/6 days. I come back off holiday last year to find out that a good good mate ended up stabbin some random fella and throwin him in a lake to leave him for dead (didnt die luckily)Its mad when you can look back on what youve gotten yourself out of/into and KNOW youve achieved somethin just from that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
