Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Friendship From the Past

As you talk to your close friend whom you have known for some many years and just realize friends whom you use to hang out with when you’re single and young you find out later these friends you thought was never your real friends in the first place.

For all the sacrifice you have made in the past being their friend as your parents always scolded you from coming home late at night and driving them around where ever they wanted to go made you realize how much a friend can do just to get the way they wanted out of friendship.

Not realizing they have a backbone by using you as you have drifted some many times away from them seeing them meet new set of friends as they keep introducing them to you.

You find out from your close friend you knew was afraid that their guy friends would be attracted to you only as friends was getting jealous because their eyes we’re somewhere else.

All along you thought they liked you that is why they had called, you up to hang out and go out to places you have never been too.

The whole time you never knew they we’re saying bad things behind your back where you had shopped and bought your clothes. As far you knew you didn’t have that money like your friends so you didn’t shop in expensive store like them.

I understand why my parents didn’t like me hanging out with them but when you’re young you are immature and you don’t know the difference of friends who are not and the real true friends.

I just couldn’t believe my ears when my close friend as I was hearing all the new things or maybe I already knew what kind of friend they are to me because for reasons we are no longer friends after we became matured and I have already drifted away from them even if I am still friends who they know.

As you have become matured and you hear these things from your close friend you realize those friends they have mentioned to you is not your friends anymore and no longer your real friend to keep in touch with as you have grown up to become a better person.

As you talk about the past and find out why your friends treated you the way they did you realize who your real friends from the beginning.
