When It Comes to Friends, It's Quality over Quantity

Friends.

If you have 3 friends in life, be glad. Its better to have one friend than to be surrounded by unreliable acquaintances. People do not realize it but often when you have a flock of people that you just hang out with, and share some grams of oxygen from times to times; it DOESN'T make you friends with those groups of people. Giving someone a ride to Publix does NOT make him or her your automatic "bud". Just because they got into your car doesn't mean you should start giving them the 411 on your life, from the moment your mom gave birth to you to that little ride to Publix.

A friend is someone that will be there through the good, bad and ugly. A friend knows you and accepts you for who you are even if they feel like beating you up from time to time... A friend is someone that you can just call to say hi, and not feel weird about. A friend is someone that you can share an event that happened to you and not be afraid that you are going to be judge right after saying those words.

In this time, you should be able to distinguish who your real friends are. It could be as easy as seeing who picks up your phone call at 2am when you are going through a rough time, or just seeing who will tell you "boy what were you thinking?" when you mess up. Be careful who you choose as friends because your friends have the power to hurt you in depth you could never think of. Also, make sure that you are a good and loyal friend, because you can only get what you give.

Friend. One word which can open a whole new world of joy, great memories, just as much as unhappiness and sour moments. But the beauty of having friends resides in the fact that you have someone that will be there for you and vice versa.

Remember: "Good Friends are like stars, you don't always see them but you know that they are always there". So if you have a friend, cherish that person. Because in this world, full of two-faced individuals, it is a wonderful thing, to find someone that you can truly call FRIEND.


Stay True,
