Friendship: A Word Yet to Be Determined.

Okay, so I want to talk about something rather important today. Well, kind of. It's a touchy subject and I want no one to get offended in this post today therefore...well, let me stop there. I was going to say don't take it personal, but well quite honestly, it is personal. But I guess this is just something that has to be said, and I'm sorry if you can't put on your big-girl panties and deal with it.

Friendships have become a segregated concept in many ways. You have your friends you can talk to no matter what, the friends who said they'd never judge you yet talk about you to others, your friends who say they are there for you when you all know they're not, the friends who you promised "to be bffs with forever" in third grade and frankly, they just won't leave you the hell alone. You have the friends who you sit with in lunch, the friends you hang out with in this class, or this class. The friends who are friends of friends. The ones you met online through a variety of ways, the friends who you haven't really talked to in three years but still consider them friends. Friends you're only still friends with for the sake of your family or social life.

I think you pretty much get the point. And may I just point out something? Read through that list and you'll see one type of "friend" that truely is a "friend." and that, my dear reader, is the first.

A friend is someone you know you can rely on no matter what, someone who will never judge you or betray you. A friend is someone who will do what they can to protect you and someone who keeps your secrets. You can go to a true friend at anytime and they'll welcome you with open arms. For most, there isnt many of these true friends. For me, I have one true good friend. And well, he just happens to be the love of my life. Two in one, right? Well, anyway, back to point.
The main point is people have many acquaintances, not friends.
I dont know, maybe they just cant spell acquaintances or it's too much for them to say so they call these acquaintances "friends."

I want you to seriously sit there and think of how many people you can seriously call a friend--someone you can go to no matter what and they wont judge you or betray you.
THen think of everyone you call a friend. They're acquaintances, people you polietely talk to to pass the time, people you're friends with for social or familial reasons. No one you really are truely friends with.

I guess, my rant is over, with this last statement.

I know who my true friend is.
Do you?
