Just like love is a very strong word, so too is friend. Some folk use the word friend so loosely and it amazes me that some people really have no clue as to what friendship entails. Friends who are true friends are those that walk into your life when everyone else walks out.
Does it mean that your friend will always agree with you? Absolutely not. But friends understand that just because we don't agree on everything, we love each other enough to respect the decisions that we make. Friends are those that you can tell things to and NEVER have to worry about hearing them again. Friends are those that will listen without all of the time responding. You know, sometimes folk do just want to be able to vent without always hearing your thoughts on certain issues.
Let's be honest, some of our friends really shouldn't hold that title. They seem to NEVER deposit into the friendship what it is that they withdraw. Take a keen look at those friends that you have on your team. If they need to be on the bench, by all means put them there. Friends that don't understand "friendship" will drain your energy and your spirit.
Me personally, I recognize that some of my "friends" don't deserve to be on the front row. They are more fitting on the sidewalk.
Do yourself a favor and check your friends.
Smooches . . .
