The truth about real friends

This is about friends, anyone that has ever been let down or disappointed or hurt by one. Sometimes we think certain people are our freinds until we learn that they are not, that they let you down, are not there, or to busy for you... Or in other words just are not a friendto you. This is for anyone who thought friends mattered and put them first, this is for you and me...

What is the meaning or friend?

Time and time again we trust our friends to be there for us through thick and then no matter what. I ask what is a friend? Is it someone who listens, someone who is there, someone you can confide in? Is it someone you can trust a secret with and know they won't tell another living soul? Is a friend someone who lends you money? Does that mean you have to pay them back or they expect you pay them back? Is it someone that has your back and you have theirs? Is it someone you get in and out of trouble with, it is someone you can count on? Is a friend someone you drink with or do drugs with? Does a friend stop being your friend because of someone your dating or married to? Is a friend someone you sleep with? Does a friend replace you with another because you simply don't do it for them anymore or they don't need you anymore? Funny it seems over there years I have acquired a lot of so called friends... And well the truth is I think I have done more and gone out of my way for some more than others. Lessons have been learned and well when I know I am in need of a friend I know I can count on at least one of my true friends to be there. It's funny how the people you went to high school with you considered friends or who you hung out with when you were growing up were your friends, where are they NOW? But then again in this day and age some are nowhere to be found. Are they still your friend? Are they still there for you, do they have your back like you had theirs? Are they still trustworthy or is at some point they get jealous of you and then start talking smack about you... why because they simply want what you have and since they are not where they want to be they outcast you and point the finger... And say you left them behind. I have been in every possible situation when it comes to me friends and friendships. I too have been on both sides of the friendship. But not once was I ever not there for a friend who needed me.Whether it was to let them stay at my place for a bit, loan them money, hook them up with a guy or girl, buy them things they needed, help them out of a bind, lie for them or if anything they just could simply to walk all over me. The truth some of these people are not really friends. Basically it comes down to knowing who your real friends are. Friends come and go. The ones worth keeping around are still there in the end no matter what, no matter who you date, marry or love. They are still there if your rich or poor. Money does not matter. They still have your back no matter what addiction you are fighting, have or coping with. They still call you to say hi or just because it's tuesday, or to see how you are becasue they care. Over the years we fall out of contact and sometimes get wrapped up in our lives and we lose sight of some friends. But really we miss our friends who we use to laugh, cry, mess with or be with.

Take some time to evalutate your life and see it for what it really is, and then get yourself right and be good to others or us around you. You never know when you might need a friend to rely on. You Friends know who you are...and the ones that don't well hell, if I told then I wouldn't be a friend!

This is for any friend that has been there!

Love ya
