Friendships
I used to believe friendships came easy. Meeting people is easy. Spending time with someone doesn't take effort either. But true friendships, the kind that come with the unspoken "I would die for you" clause, take a real understanding, commitment, and sometimes a deaf ear and thick skin. I guess that's what separates the acquaintances from the BFFs. As I'm getting older, my acquaintance relationships are feeling increasingly empty and my friendships are growing more "full." It's a good kind of full. The kind that means I'm learning to appreciate people for both their strengths and their flaws.
I don't think friendship has to be a full-time thing. Sometimes the best friends are people you talk to once a month or so. But the thing with a good friendship is the quality of time you spend. Meaning, it's important to be "present." Completely and fully present, not just for your benefit, but for the sake of theirs. There are some friends you can go to who will always stop what their doing and treat you as though you're the most important person at that moment. I have this thing about burdening people. I hate unloading my problems onto others. It's draining to the other person. Unless there's a true friendship; one in which I feel comfortable enough to drain you, if not then, I'll keep most problems to myself.

i got this quote from the book i'm reading... |

| **this was nice pls read**
Fill the palm of your hand with a little water
and hold it.
"You see this water contained in the hand?
It symbolizes Love."
This was how to see it
"As long as you keep your hand
Caringly open and Allow it to remain there,
it will always be there.
However, if you attempt to close your fingers
around it and try to posses it,
it will spill through the first cracks it finds.
This is the greatest
mistake that people do when they meet love...
They try to posses it,
they demand,
they expect...
And just like the water spilling
out of your hand,
Love will slip away from you.
For love is meant to be free,
you can not change it's nature.
If there are people you love,
allow them to be free beings.
Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple,
but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime
to truly practice.
It is the secret to true love.
To truly practice it,
you must sincerely feel no expectations from
those who you love,
And yet an unconditional caring.
"Passing through Life is not measured by the
number of breaths we take but by the moments
that take our breath away." |
