Friendship

What is friendship? Throughout my twenty-eight years, I've learned that there are many definitions of the word, but the key to experiencing true friendship is finding those people whose definition is the same as yours. I think that's where people tend to fall off when it comes to their "friends". They go through experiences with certain people who they labeled as a friend, but then that person will turn around and do something that isn't, in their mind, considered something a friend would do. I've learned that it's not that at all...it's just that everyone has a different definition of what friendship means; when certain actions don't fall under your definition, the relationship becomes confusing. They have confused a friend with an associate.

I am blessed to have found people whose definition of frienship matches my own. Our definition states that a friend is one who is G-d fearing, kind, considerate, selfless, caring, honest, trustworthy, dependable, is not sneaky, does not envy, enjoys your company, has your best interest at heart at all times, and whose smile has nothing behind it except great intentions. When you find people who share your definition, there is an instant attraction, and the friendship is difficult to break...these friendships are long-lasting and truly cherished.

To all my friends, thank you for your frienship and I pray that I am being a friend to you as well.
