My Epithany The Realization that Honesty Is Most...

Everyone has an epiphany at least once in their lifetime, and most of the time those epiphanies bring a lot of change to follow. As someone who has experienced an epiphany before, my most known epiphany was when I realized that friends can be fantastic or down-right awful role models. Obviously, most people automatically assume that a new friend will be perfect and fun to be around. However, one must remember to always figure out a person’s true colors before sharing personal life details with them.

Even so, this epiphany continually destroyed me until I decided to take a stand and clean up my life of all the malicious human beings. Back to when everything had begun, when I thought that friend would be by my side forever, that summer when we became close, I had started to hang out more and do things I should not have been doing. We would get together with friends and have a party, and even get intoxicated. It came to the point my parents were going to send me away over the bad things I had been doing. I am the type of person that is easily talked into anything. If friends around me was drinking or smoking, then I felt the need to do it as well. I had realized then, this was a bad friend, all I was doing while hanging with him were unpleasant acts. I did not need that life, nor did I want it. All I wanted was a true friend to count on and I thought that was what I had, but I was completely wrong. Furthermore, as things started to calm down, and summer started to come to an end, I realized he wanted to be my friend just to get himself involved
