A good friend is someone we can count on,
as well as being so much more. A friend is someone
with whom we can relax and just hang out, have fun, and share our innermost thoughts -- deep dark secrets, lofty and noble goals, or our hopes, dreams, and fears. A good friend allows you a safe space to share your deepest thoughts and needs -- without worry of being judged, criticized, or made to feel silly for feeling the way you do. Friends cheer each other on, laugh and cry together, and just plain commiserate and listen to each other.
That's why friends are friends.
