dwevskyx has asked his flist to tell him what we think true friendship is; what makes a true friend. And so:
A true friend is someone who will tell me what I don't want to hear, even if it gets them in trouble.
A true friend is someone who will be there for me every single time I need them, but knows the times when I actually need to be there for myself.
A true friend knows when I am being an idiot.
A true friend supports me when I try new things.
A true friend remembers the times we have shared together and cherishes those times the same way that I do.
A true friend understands why I eat my toast the way I do.
A true friend trusts me to treat them properly.
A true friend respects what I stand for.
A true friend is someone who I can not see for months and months and still know just as well when next I see them, and who knows me just as well.
A true friend won't ask anything of me when I have nothing to give.
A true friend will ask the world of me when they need it.
A true friend might not ever call me, but is happy to hear my voice on the other end of the phone when I call them.
A true friend knows when I need to be left alone.
A true friend knows when I need to not be by myself.
A true friend knows when I am in danger.
A true friend sees the good things in me that I see in myself, and knows the bad things aren't that bad.
A true friend respects the things I have to say, even if they don't agree.
I suppose I could go on and on like this, sounding more and more like one of those irritating 'please forward this on to seven special women in your life and let them know how special they are to you' emails, but I won't.
Instead, I'm going to text one of my friends and tell them I love them. It might even be you.
