Friendship? What are you?

I guess to everyone a friendship is a different thing, but to me, I know exactly what it means. Friendship is a very deep and amazing connection. It is this in-depth connection (relationship) that combines trust, support, communication, loyalty, understanding, empathy and intimacy. It is a lot like a marriage.

Someone once explained a friendship as the feeling you have from returning from your grandmothers house after the weekend is over. You finally get back to your own house, and you feel, hey this is home, this is relaxing, this is right, and that is what a friendship should be. It should be your comfort, and it should be a good part of your life, and make you amazing. You go out into the world, you do your best, and you have you ups and downs. You have problems, you have triumphs, fun and tribulations, and after everything you come (home) to that friend, that one that you can share everything with, and doesn’t question anything.

But no one can form a friendship with another person until they are friends with themselves. Also no one can be a friend to someone else, until they know what that other person needs from them. It’s like that old poem, everyone comes into your life for a reason. Some stay for a few minutes, others for a few days, and some forever, and they are always there for a reason, and sometimes we don’t know that reason, but we are so thankful they are there for as long as they are there for.

So thank you to all my friends, to all those amazing people who inspired me, and who made me who I am. I love you all, and you all are awesome, and I couldn’t or wouldn’t be who i am without you. I love you all.
