Meaningful Melody: 

Brandy - Best Friend (1995)

I LOVE that Brandy is back in action but I can’t help but still prefer to listen to her old music! This song is a classic. I know I’m glad to have close friends who support me and are always when I need them. I’m so grateful to have them in my life.

Like the saying goes, it is better to have a few close friends than a dozen “fake” ones. So! Recognize:

• who has your best interest in mind vs. who doesn’t
• who builds you up vs. who brings you down
• who cares about you vs. who don’t !

Going into the new school year,it is o.k. to separate yourself from negative people. Only surround yourself with people who will add to your life. Also, remember to be a good friend back to them. Be supportive, positive and encouraging. Let those people who are true friends to you and who have made a difference in your life by being the amazing person that they are know that you appreciate their friendship! Tell them in person or shoot them a nice text message. Like India.Arie said, it’s the Little Things :)
