What kind of FRIEND are you?
What is a friend? Are you a friend? Are you a good friend, a bad friend, an only-when-I-need-something-friend? What makes you a friend? Is it your loyalty; your being there when a person needs a shoulder to cry on? Have you ever sat and asked yourself what kind of person am I to the people around me and what do I actually bring to the table? I think some people may be SHOCKED to learn how neglectful you may be or lack the ability to care for any other person’s day but your very own. You realize we need our friends to survive? It is why we were placed here in the first place. Do you ask others about his/or her day? Care to really listen to another person vent or even complain? (Yes! Good friends sit there and listen to people bitch every now and again.) If a person called you late at night in frustration and needed advice, would you pick up the phone or clear it? This is such a great thing to ask yourself because too often do we have individuals in our life that may have nothing more to offer than a physical body taking up space next to you. Some friend’s have bad energy that rubs off on you, only to have you asking yourself what the hell is wrong with me?! The definition of friend is a person you know well and regard with affection and trust. Are you this person?? Be a good friend and see how quickly others in your life go out of their way for you. There needs to be give and take! This is how I view friendships: It’s like a marriage or relationship. If the right amount of proper time and love go into it, a healthy relationship forms. But if you stop going out of your way, stopped calling, stopped caring or didn’t spend enough time together than the relationship becomes fragile and falls apart. It’s the same scenario for friendships. If not enough effort is put into it, the friendship ends… Just a thought!
