Have you ever wondred exactly who are your friends?
But never had that BIG tragic moment to ever sieve the hang-outers from the stay-by-your-sides ?
Never had one... will never know actually.
But in our hearts, we really do dont we ?
We join clubs, GO to the clubs.... the hugs and the kisses... the hi's and the byes... the treats and the sharing.... the rip-offs....
Think real hard.... and you realise ... DAMN..... most of my 'FRIENDS' do fall into that category.
They treaten break offs.... and betrayal.. you feel obligated rather than wanting to be around them.
What about the other group? The 'stay-by-your-sides' type? The ones who come in times of need?
How many of us are lucky to actually have one? I know none ...as I've said earlier...
NEVER HAD THAT TRAGIC MOMENT .

i know exactly how u feel! sometimes.. friendship when it turns into an obligation rather than a leisure part of life, it can turn pretty ugly.
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
btw adrian; shakirrah here (:> enjoy!
It's just hard to believe the existance of 'un-requited' friendships.
After all, who can we blame when humans are the wee bit (or alot!) selfish .... its part of survival and getting ahead in a competitive society.
Life's NOT a game you know...
On well.
Still, thank ya'll for your comments here. Appreciated beyond words.
