Popular singer Simi has dwelled on the true meaning of friendship with an insight on the importance of setting boundaries in relationships.
The ‘stranger‘ crooner urged her followers to be careful with labeling everyone as a friend with emphasis on the need to guard one’s personal space.
Simi stressed that casual interactions and occasional positive vibes should not automatically qualify someone as a best friend.
The singer highlighted the importance of being selective about who is allowed into one’s inner circle, stating that making someone smile should not grant unrestricted access to one’s heart and spirit.
The singer addressed the common misconception that if one invests more in a relationship than the other person, it doesn’t necessarily mean the other person is a bad friend or dislikes them.
Simi suggested that differences in perception and understanding may be at play.
“Y’all just be calling ANYBODY your friend and then act surprised when they act like your enemy
“You can be cool or vibe with someone every once in a while, but that def does not mean you’re now besties. Protect your space and stop giving every single person that made you smile once access to your heart and spirit.
“And this might be hard to hear (read) – but sometimes when you’re riding hard for someone that is not doing the same for you, it’s not always because they don’t like you or that they’re “bad friends” they probably just never really saw you the same way. you saw then. That. Is. Okay.
“Nobody’s life revolves around you except your own. Choose the people that choose you too. If you’re confused, communicate. Now stand up from your pity party and have a great day today,” she wrote.
