Friendship! What is it?
Friendship can be defined as the emotions or conduct of friends. The state of being friends.
Well - what is a friend? A simple google search will yield the following: a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations.
...friendship.
For starters - Do not get it mistaken with colleagues or associates. Following this message - you may shift from using the word friend so loosely.
When I express friendship - I am talking about trusted relationships. This is not about people you work with or have fun with here and there. Tell silly jokes or they lift you up here and there from their presence.
Ask yourself this? Have you been over your friend's house? Have you gone out for a drink with a true friend? Do you all talk about intimate details. Not Gossip! Do they mutually feel how you feel? This should help you evaluate friendship.
So..don't get this mixed with buddies, colleagues, nail technicians, mechanics, hair dressers, and similarly. They can be friends. But I'm talking about that ride or die relationship. I'm talking about being there through thick and thin. Whitney and Cece delivered it best:
..."you can count on me through thick and thin, a friendship that will never end. When you are weak, I will be strong, helping you to carry on. Call on me and I will be there". That's what friendship is all about. I love it, I love it, I love it.
Take some time to inventory your friendships. Evalaute who's who and who's not and help them slide to the left, slide to the right, or bring them in front of you...because if they are your true friends, they will be there to the end.
Just want to keep this thing called #life - SIMPLE! Remember to stay #Positive, #Plugged and #Present.
