Tests are over finally…. Can’t change them…. So now on to better things!!!!
This week has been a interesting week, so when I had a chance to talk to people the topic of friendship tended to come up a lot . And in the last few months I’ve just been really tested as far as friendships go. So why not see what everybody else is thinking. So in one conversation with some friends we were talking about how it’s ok to only have a select few of friends that we can really call our close friends. Well this got me to thinking what separates friends vs. close friends? So I came up with some definitions that help me decide. Friends to me are those people who are in your life to make you happy and who are there to just support you in your decisions. A close friend in my definition is all the things that a friends is but more. I would consider this type of friend someone who you can go to during any hard trial in your life and they can offer support (not just supporting what you think but helping you look at all aspects of what’s going on in your life), they would also be someone, no matter what your faults and shortcomings are, their to only help you get passed those faults, etc and look on to the future. I also feel that it’s someone that no matter how awful you feel if something about them is bothering you (that is legit and you have reason and purpose behind the cause), you can go to them and you both try and figure out what the problem is and move past it. [You also need to be willing to accept them if they come to you with a problem too :) ]Also it’s someone you can be honest with and trust. So pretty much someone who’s gonna be their no matter what!! So as you have read this, I challenge you to come up with your own definitions of those two types of friends (because not everybody is going to think like me) but I challenge you to figure out who you can put into to those categories and who you can take out. :) Comments welcomed :)
I already told you that I like this, BUT I challenge YOU to define what your invisible friend means to you! Haha
ReplyDeleteuh *test*
ReplyDeletelove you.
ReplyDeletewell Jenee, I agree with you but I would also like to add that close friends call you on your crap... in a nice way of course hah.
ReplyDeleteYes yes so true, it's all about honesty!! if they are doing some crappy things as that close friend you need to be able to come out and tell them, and that person needs to be able to hear you out as well or else maybe they don't value your friendship.
