You know...The ones we can depend on....
Whodini just didn't even know what they hit on when they wrote them lyrics! I don't think that in 1984, they knew how much those words would reigned true 25 years later.
I have to say...as of right now...I have some pretty awesome friends, but that's not to say that I haven't had a couple of bad apples in my bunch and I still do. I have been neglected, reject, cast aside, talked about, lied about, lied to and down right dogged out by people that I have once called my friends....It's pretty easy to tell when a friendship is starting...but how do you know when a friendship is done?
A wise person said that some friendships are for a lifetime and some are for a season...I totally understand that, and I also feel like it is not about the quantity of friend, but it's about the quality of the people you call friends...bc you can have 5 million friends, but if none are willing to help you when the chips are down or you need a shoulder to cry on....then whats the point of having them there?
The kind of person that I am...if you are my friend then you are my friend...I'm not going to waste energy on people that couldn't care less about me....that may sound shallow...but what really is the point....I am very loyal and if you ever need me, I will be there...i will give the clothes off my back if you need them...
I can go on and on about this and I could tell you so good stories of friends who's seasons have past, friends that I've dismissed and friendship that I fight for daily...maybe on day...I will leave you with this tho....
"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
As you know, this topic definitely hits close to home. A really, good, genuine and true friend is definitely hard to find. I agree if you have 5trillion friends but none of them and sincere and true, you are better off standing alone. As I get older the meaning of "friend" reaches deeper depths and means alot more. I guess when we mature we actually start to worry about the quality and not quantity of friends. With that being said, I am truely greatful to have a friend like you :-)
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! And I'm thankful to have a friend like you too! Genuine people are hard to come by and you are that and more! Muahz!
