: : Friends love you unconditionally. Friends give of themselves just because they care about you. Friends love you when you can't find the strength to love yourself. Friends are there for you when your world seems to be crashing down around you. Friends forgive you when your evil twin rears its ugly head. Fortunately, friends benefit from the good times because they love you enough to endure through all the bad times.
: : My friend of the day is Mrs. Jennifer Cleary, and she doesn't even know it because she never reads the message board! She is steadfast in her friendship, regardless of the circumstances. She is able to see past the prickly thorns to the pretty flowers that all of us are capable of being.
i guess since my experience with "friends" is not so pleasant i aint one to believe this..when i have had the hardest moments..few is any where there...so i mean..granted it seems like the ideal image or concept of friendship..not all are fortunate enough to have that luxury..thats how i see it..
you would just have to be in my position to grasp my viewpoint..thats great that you and others grasp the concept of friends far much more than i do..i am just at a different place at this moment..and have been for a while..trying to grasp that concept and it never has worked out in my head or even on paper..so yeah..
obviously everyone's situation is different and unique..
at this time...to me..friend is a dollar in my pocket..until proven otherwise..
