PrintableA friend is someone who will do anything to help you out, even if they don't agree with what you're doing. They will do so, just because you asked them to, and they know it's important to you.
A friend will give his last cent, if they know you need it more than they do. A friend is someone who will tell you what they truly think, and not what you would like to hear them say. A friend is someone who will not be afraid to criticise you, but will also let you know that they are doing so out of care. A true friend, is for life, no matter what. | |

Sometimes friendship is so special... you get to share two BIG pieces of cake. Now that is special.
My lifelong bestest friend in the whole wide gigantic world...  Leticia and I.
Friends are my chosen family, for sure.
I will be your friend too Pej.

I read this poem this weekend...
I need to know if you’re my true friend, will you be by my side until the end? Can I tell you my secrets deep, and trust them in your heart you’ll keep? We are neither of us without our flaws, can you accept mine as I will yours? I’ll be a shoulder to cry on when you’re blue, will you be there for me when I need you? No matter how busy I will make time for you, if you are busy will you make time for me too? I will take your hand and comfort your tears, will you hold me and soothe my fears? I will give you joy and many warm smiles, can we share that even across many miles? I will not forget what’s important to you, will you remember what’s important to me too? With you my most favourite things I’ll share, If only I know do you truly care? If you can accept me as I do you, then I will know you are a friend most true. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

Friends understand one another , that's why they're friends!!! I would never use what I have done for my friends against them. Now I would bring shit up that I had done for a friend if they had accussed me of not caring just to make a point that if I didnt care I never would have done a damn thing for them in the first place. I would also never post something about a "friend" on a website forum knowing good and well they would see it and not even having the respect to call them out on it because at one time I considered them my friend so why wouldnt I ask them about it before making an assumption? Hate to say it but all of us have done wrong to our friends and vice versa in the past... no one is perfect and we all have the tendencies to make mistakes even when it comes to friends! I dont necessarily think that makes you or your friend, whatever the case, untrue. You might just end up losing a lot of good people in your life if you write off anyone and everyone that says something negative about you. Especially when you have had only one bad situation take place but years of friendship, and that one situation wasnt really worth throwing all that away for in the first place.

I never expect anything in return for whatever I do for my friends. I do it out of care, love, not as a business opportunity that I could get a favour in return later. And whatever happens in the future, fight, agrument, or anything, I'd never ask back what I have given. | |

PEJ said: I have recently introduced two of my friends to each other and later found out that one said some negative things about me to the other. I guess they didn't think that friend would tell me what was said but at least I can determine the fake from the real.
You know what? I wouldn't trust the "friend" who blabbed to you. My friends have a pact that if any of us discuss each other when we are not present, that it is never fed back to the person we had discussed. Its silly to think that other people will never talk about you or criticise you. I'm by no means perfect and I'd find it odd if (some of) my actions weren't analysed by people whom profess to care about me. Similarly, if somebody has pissed me off, it isn't always constructive to go to that person and whine at them. Its much easier to talk through why they pissed me off, with other people who know us both. Sometimes I realise that they were wrong and sometimes I realise that I was wrong. Its unimportant. If anything was really that important or if I really felt strongly enough about a specific issue, I would go to that person, tell them directly and risk losing that friendship. I don't need to know the dynamics of any negative conversation about me. I accept that it happens and can deal with that. Its naive to think that mutual friends will never talk about you - good or bad. If any prospective friend can't accept that's how my friends and I operate, they never become part of my life. The people I bitch about the most are the people I care about the most. I never waste my energy thinking about people whom don't matter to me. | |

Pej I'm sorry to hear about what you've been through...
friends are the family we choose for ourselves and they come into our lives for many different reasons... I'm soooo thankful because I have some wonderful people in my life, most of the closest ones I've known for a very long time but some I've met within the last 6 months or so...even so they have a huge piece of my heart , no matter how long I've known them... Friends are our angels that have been sent to help guide us...treasure them...  | |

PEJ said: When it comes to my friends I count on them for advice, love, care, and honesty. I hope if they feel some way about anything , me included, they would let me know how they truely feel . I have made many friends in my life and for the most part we usually always get along. I have also observed that some friends call me to see how I am doing and care about my well being while some pretend like they care but in reality are actually calling cuz they need something,whatever that may be...
Damn, Pej. I'm so sorry for your loss, both of your real friend and of your fake one. When I left a very well paying job for a lot less paying job, 'friends' and family disappeared on me, which was all good in the long run. Keep your friends close, enemies even closer, right? As long as you got one really good one, you'll be alright.I have recently introduced two of my friends to each other and later found out that one said some negative things about me to the other. I guess they didn't think that friend would tell me what was said but at least I can determine the fake from the real. It's rare that I have problems with my true friends. To me discussions/ conclusions/ solutions are great to have between friends but arguemnents/fighting are not something I will do with any friends , ever. Don't get me wrong I have had a few fallouts with a few friends but I'm proud to say that the ones who were/are genuine friends I have regained as friends and we worked things out! A few months ago I posted a thread about a friend of mine overdosing from some serious drugs. Last week another friend of mine experienced a heart attack which he survived but he was placed on life support and the doctor mentioned he may need a transplant to survive. As the days went by in the hospital he was improving (so I thouht) They ended up taking him off of life support because of how well he seemed to be doing but later that night his heart failed and he was dead. Another friend gone, another funeral to attend. With all of this said I will end by saying ..... be true to your self, be true to others, cherrish your friends while they are here... IMHO a person should be their own best friend 1st before they can be friends with other people. 
mind over matter edit
