its 4:54am and im quite bored ... so here's me deep thought provocing question:
How do you define a true friend/best friend
I will admit i have very few close friends, i would define the majority of my relationships as acquaintances im very picky about who i choose to trust and i find trust is essential to any friendship no matter how close, ppl that tend to fall into the graces of what i define as 'true friendship' generally are the ones who are willing to do something for me to help me out with out knowing me or expecting anything in return. I realize that sounds selfish so let me try to explain. One of my closest friends in the world i met at a previous employment ... we met in high school she was 2 years my senior ... prior to this experience we had hardly spoken 3 words to each other while at work ... i had come into work and i was really upset and not myself because another close friend of mine had truely stabbed me in the back (another story too longto tell here) .... but my at the time co-worker pulled me aside cause she noticed i wasnt myself and sat me down and mad me talk about what was going on and why i was so upset ... she gave me some advice and made me feel 110% better ... now she did this just to make me feel better expecting nothing in return .... but what became of that one talk is probably the closest friendship i have ever or will ever have, the reason our friendship became so close is because she did something for me that i do to most ppl i meet .... i like helping ppl (not just in the technical support sense) and i very rarely expect anything in return when i help someone else out it just not in my nature ... so when someone is willing to do that for me i consider it a connection od kindreed souls so to speak ... and that really is how i choose my friends ... thru out the years my best friends and i have grow quite far apart ... so far apart that i recently recieved an email that she was getting married ... but i hadnt even known that she was seeing anyone since we havent spoken in over a year .... even that being so ... she still asked me to be her maid of honor and we both still consider each other to one anothers closest friend .... our relationship doesnt contain anything other than trust and respect for one another ... basically meaning we tend not to agree on anything ..but i know i can trust and depend on her for anything in the world .... and that in return i would do the same for her .... how many ppl can you really say that about ...
so anyways to make a long story short ... how do you define your friends? how do you define your closest friends?
its now 5:09 am and im really tired so if this is a really crappy post just forgive me ..
