A little understanding of Friendship

Friendship is that special connection that happens between two people occasionally, when they discover something that is inspiring, touching, descent, or even just 'likeable' in each other. It doesn't require that you have anything in common with each other, except for that spark of connection that makes somebody special to you in your heart.

Being a friend is about enjoying the good times. It's about partying for the small triumphs, and celebrating the major successes. It's about spending time sitting around and just talking, and about playing games that everyone can get into.
Being a friend is about being strong when your friends are weak. It's about supporting people in a time of crisis, and holding them as long as it takes for them to cry themselves out.It's about knowing what's going on in each other's lives, and offering support (and, on occasion, tough love).

Being a friend is about exposing yourself to the world. It's about trusting people enough to expose your innermost thoughts to them, and being honest in every aspect of who you are.It's about saying the hard things (and asking the difficult questions), and still being friends the next morning.

But mostly, being a friend is about joy. It's about sharing that little piece of your soul,and about making people smile. And smiles -- like hugs -- are contagious; once they're given away, you usually get one right back. And, if you do it long enough, you might even do better than breaking even on the deal. That's when I know that I've found a true friend.
