its been a while...
hmm. haven't been on here much as of late, mostly b/c i have been incredibly busy, and just haven't had time to post. but, i have a little time now, so i thought i would post a little something. its been a while too, since i was in friendship that means as much to me as the one i am in now does. what does it mean to truly be someone's friend? in my opinion, it means that you look out for them and their needs, always. that means that sometimes i have to do things that might be difficult, in order to put that person ahead of myself. but, i have never had one regret in a situation of this kind. the only thing i have to lose is my selfishness, and the only thing that would gain me is the loss of a friend. to truly be a friend means to give. it will not always be so, but there will def. be points where it will be the case. however, when the other person is treating you the same way, or even better, then i have no need to worry in the least, and i can trust in that. take notice, those who would enter a true friendship lightly. it will require things of you at times that you did not know you had to give. however, the reward of knowing your friend, and the privilage of being their friend, will far outweigh any costs involved. for indeed, in order to really truly be a friend to someone, you must care about them, or more yet, love them. and this is where we started, for the simplest definition of love is to put someone beofre yourself, and always have their intrests at heart. of course, we will all always fail at this at some point; we are human, are we not? but to try is worth the effort; worth every smile and tear, i would say. do not be afraid to love, and love well. that you will be hurt by someone is almost without doubt; that life is empty without loving is also doubtless. so? i will take my chances, and though i may fail at some points, i will do my best. for, when i leave this earth, i want it to be remembered that, if nothing else, i loved. so, true friendship may mean sacrifice, but it is worth every minute, and on that, you can trust me... to my true friend, thank you... (lol, you know who you are missy...)
