True Wuv for Each Other



I h
ave had the fact of being a "True/Good Friend" on my mind lately. I know what my idea of a true/Good Friend is but not sure what others think. I try super hard to be a really good friend to others but know I am not perfect. So what do you think a true friend is? And how can you be a good friend to others?
I googled it and here are some things that others have said....

  • We don't worry about courtesies, we can call each other at any hour about anything.
  • Not worrying about exposing ourselves, we can speak our mind, say anything we want, and not worry about them judging us.
  • We can unguard ourselves.
  • Supportive, and understanding.
  • Will be there for us with out expecting anything in return.
  • The will help us with no extent, they will do anything in their power to help us.
  • They will support you even if the whole world opposes you.
Well those were just a few things out of so many. We all need to have good friends in our lives. They help us feel good and happy. They are also straight up and tell you how it is. You need someone that you can talk to about anything always. Someone you know who really cares to listen and wants to know what is going on with your life. We need someone that asks you questions and doesn't only worry about themselves. Someone who is unselfish. Someone that when you ask them about their day asks you back about yours and isn't doing it out of common courtesy. Someone who loves and cares for you the way you are. Someone who has the desire to be there no matter what. Who doesn't get sick of you when your on a downer they are just understandable because one day they will be there too. Someone who will come over at 3 in the morning just because you need them. Someone who really knows you. We all need someone. But to get someone you have to give back also. The key to receiving and keeping a good/true friend is that the relationship is two sided. You can't expect your friends to stick around forever if you don't give back to them and show you care also. We need to be a good/true friend to receive one.
I challenge everyone to try and be a better friend this week. Try to get to really know the person you care about. Learn one new thing about them. Show them that you love them. Make sure they know your there, and be there. Listen, be understanding, patient, honest.
