Friendships

Friendships.
The relationships that are never ending, nor do the people that are so completely special to you ever lose a place in your heart.

What is a friend?

A friend who isn't just there for you, but who is willing to listen, hold you accountable, loving, caring, understanding, and forgiving of your well being and heart.
They're willing to go out of there way for you, not simply because they're attempting to be nice, but they want to.
They're willing to share interests, jokes, sarcasm, music, skills, life experiences/stories from their hearts so that you may learn as well of what they've gained in life.

They're willing to set you in your place whenever you're a jerk and still are completely loving and forgiving.
Or, simply, they just love to set you in your place for the fact of liking you for who you are.

Accepting all that you are and aren't afraid to say that nor show the emotions behind it all of how they exactly feel.


I've learned that...the friends that I have, I am EXTREMELY blessed by and so thankful for.
I don't know where I would be without any of them.

I must say, I possess some of the most awesome friends.
Not because they fit the 'category' of friend, but for the simple fact of
they're just...so surpassing of the genericness of a friend (i know that isn't a real word, but I needed something.)

I have had my share of friendships that were both healthy and unhealthy, if anything I've come to realize now, every single friendship had this deeper meaning behind that has built me up as a person..
These friendships were built on a foundation that was so firm...it can't be shaken.

These friends that I've made have chosen me for a reason. They saw something in my heart that was great and different.

I would have never thought I would have made the friends that I have now in a million years because when I was younger, I didn't believe in friendships, simply only people who I would merely talk to -if- I had to...not because I wanted to.

Now, I believe I have friends that I do no matter where they're located geographically, for a reason...a grace given to me by God...a blessing..that was given to me because I didn't deserve it, but due to the fact or principle that God wanted it to be so we made encourage and love one another for the heart seeing past all the flaws..so that we may become better in what God has created us to be; loving and compassionate beings.

All of the friends that I have now I consider a gain, hearts to respect, love, and value...
each and every single one of them a complete blessing...because I've learned things from them that I probably wouldn't of with anyone else.


Therefore, cherish your friends. Value them. Love them. Be all that you can be for them because you want to for God and that friend, doing nothing out of selfish ambition, but all for the better of that friendship and person being completely selfless and sacrificing.
People need that more in a person, a friend...more than you think.

To all of my friends that I've made all over the places I've lived, been educated, worked, etc...

Thank you. Just wanted to thank you for your undying friendship with me,
sharing all that you are in your heart and being,
trusting and having faith in me as a friend..
and
thank you for being YOU. Don't change yourself. Keep the faith and know that you really are respected, cherished, valued, and loved by a friend.
This I do because God has called me to do so and simply... because I want to. :)

Thanks for everything that you've been to me. You all are surpassing the very meaning of awesome in my eyes.

PS. Be yourself always and never fear to share who you are. Some of us actually do care. :)
