Friendship

Today I am reminded how important friendship is.  And I am not talking about superficial friendship.  I am not talking about the people I exchange pleasantries with.  I am talking about the type of friend who really knows me.  I am talking about the type of friend who goes through what I go through.  I am talking about the type of friend who hurts when I hurt, laughs when I laugh, cries when I cry.  A friendship like this requires a lot of history.  It requires years of getting to know eachother and building trust.  Friendships like this do not occur overnight.

Anyone who knows me well knows that I prefer to keep a few close friends rather than a handful of friends.  And I will tell you why.  Close relationships are just more rewarding, they are more real, they are emotional.  You can tell your true friends your secrets without judgment.  Acquitances and other non-close friends are nice too, but it feels....well....superficial.  And just very shallow.

And true friends, just KNOW exactly when to text or call.  It's almost as if we are somehow connected on a psychic level.  I guess my point of this post is just to say how much I appreciate my close friends.  Love you guys!!!
