Friends

I LOVE my friends. Throughout the years I have realized who my true friends really are. That is always tough, especially if you learn it the hard way. I still have days that are harder than others because of friends that I have lost. It is never fun to feel like you were stabbed in the back or that you had complete trust in someone and they threw it out the window. However, I have some of the best friends in the world. Some might be VERY close to me and others might be acquaintances. However, I have learned a lot and continue to learn a lot from the wonderful people around me.

Here are some qualities that my friends have that I LOVE about them! They have been through a lot with me and NEVER walk away when life gets hard. They listen when I need someone to talk to. They have been a shoulder to cry on. They have been my solid foundation when I felt my world was collapsing around me. Two of my best friends do not live very close to me, but yet I feel they are always here (maybe not physically, but they are only a phone call away). They always tell me the truth, even if it is not exactly what I want to hear. They are very understanding. They are caring. They always know what to say, what to do, and what to be. They look at the positive side of things when I am dwelling on the negative. They will never leave (even if we are MILES apart we are still close at heart). They always know what being a friend is, what being a friend means, and understands my every mood.

I would like like to say thank you to all my friends whether we are close or not I am sure you have helped me through an obstacle or two in my life.

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

Sorry about my jumbled thoughts. I was having one of those days that I am dwelling on some of my "friends" that turned out not really trustworthy people. When that happens I feel hurt and betrayed. SOOOO I decided to dwell on all the wonderful people that are a part of my life and I have quite few!
