“A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”(Walter Winchell)

FRIEND

|noun|:  a person who helps or supports someone 

 

As we journey through life, we build relationships with people that we hope will last a lifetime.  We make strong relationships with people that we hope will stay with us, no matter how much we both change.  These relationships that we have built over the course of our lives, are relationships that have the ability to change.  The ones we call friends are those we entrust ourselves with.  Those we call friends are those we entrust with secrets and things about ourselves that no other person knows.       

Our friends are our supporters, they are our secret keepers.  With the friends we make, we choose to get to know them.  We choose to let others in.  The years we spend knowing them, we get to learn who they are and discover how much they mean to us. In the years we spend knowing them, we see things about them that we may not like. Change in a friendship could either be a good thing or a bad thing. for both of you.

   

       We and our friendships are affected by everything around us, causing one or both of us to change in order to fit in. The other people and groups around us can strongly affect the existence of our friendships.  We and our friends can be drawn apart by new opportunities, we fall prey to different people and activities taking place everywhere around us.. Our friendships will only remain intact if you and those you love make an effort to stay loyal and trustful.  Without loyalty and trust, there is no friendship.

In order to have a friendship that lasts for a long time, find friends that make you enjoy life.  Find people that you enjoy being around, that you can see yourself trusting.  The people that do not support you in times of need, are not worth remaining in your life.  If you need help, loyal and trusting friends will always come to aid; they will always make sure that you are okay. Friends that stay by your side through thick and thin, are friends that are worth making an effort for.

Find those friends, and never let them go.
