Let me tell you about me and friendship! Because I hate discovering over and over again, that how some that you think are friends are manipulating the true meaning of friendship in the name of intimacy; A friend is someone I trust to be with me when I am at my weakest and most vulnerable. And they are people who, no matter how painful it is to see, are willing to be with me when I am so helpless and weak because that’s how I prove my friendship without selling you out! And a lot of people know that. If I would trust my life with you, and vice versa, we are friends. It’s not about whether you are friendly; it’s the actual act of trust that is the basis of friendship. If I trust you to be truthful, then you’re a friend. If I find I must be careful how I say things, then it’s something other than friendship. Friendship is not a state of mind, it’s an act. It’s something you do, it’s not about whether you’re good or not, it’s not a reflection of you, it’s a balanced relationship between people. That doesn’t mean it’s always balanced at every moment. Sometimes you “need a friend” and other times it’s the other way. It’s a trust that’s returned. I know a lot of people; I mean a lot of people! but how many are friends? Very few, how many think they are friends? Probably a lot, how many times I have trusted a wrong person as a friend? Just a few times, how much it hurts discovering that it was a wrong person? A lot. So think before calling me your friend! Because I wont call you a friend anymore unless you prove that your are trustworthy!
