I think friendships have become somewhat ephemeral and fleeting these days. You may have 2,000 Facebook friends, but how many are “real” friends. Perhaps it is time we reconsider what a true friend really is.
A Friend Is:
- Someone whom you can trust
- Someone who trusts you
- Someone who respects you
- Someone whom you respect
- Someone whom you like
- Someone who is there when you need them
- Someone who is there even when there is no need
- Someone who will lend you money
- Someone who will lend you things
- Someone who is loyal
- Someone whom you like to be with
- Someone who spends time with you
- Someone whom you can share problems with
- Someone who listens to your opinion
- Someone whose opinion you listen to
- Someone who cares about you
- Someone whom you care about
- Someone whom you can share intimacies with
- Someone who shares intimacies with you
- Someone who lifts you up rather than puts you down
In the comments section following, I would love to hear what a “Friend Is” to you. Please post your ideas on friendship. Feel free to share this blog with others.
