But who actually fits that description? You have your friends & your true friends. Friends come in many people, but true friends only come once in a lifetime. A real friendship will last, no matter how far they are from you, no matter how many new people they meet, or how popular they may become. To depend on a friend to always be there for you is unfair, because if that person isn't there, what would you do? Just cut them out of your life? If you were a good friend yourself, you would understand why & know that no one is perfect. A friend will always tell you what sounds good or what will make you happy, but a true friend will tell you the brutal truth. FACT: real friends never try to avoid arguments because it will not harm the friendship at all. They shouldn't be scared of getting into that argument in the first place because those little arguments are what makes the friendship stronger. True friends know your deepest secrets, good & bad, & will still love you til the end but friends will only know your surface appearance. Friends come & go without explanation, but true friends will always be there, even when you think they're not. True friends are like family; people who treat your parents like they're theirs, people who become best buddies to your brothers & sisters. So when you say "family always comes first", they are already your family. To me, friendship is like a board game. The ones who care enough will enter the game, play it, & stay until you end it together. The ones who don't will get bored & choose to leave. So, keep what is worth keeping, & with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away. |
