I've often asked myself what makes a friend a true friend
and where did the word friend come from? I have grown older
since I first asked myself this question and I've had a few
good friends and some friends who where never my friends to
begin with.
The problem is I try to look for the good in people no matter
what and I've ended up getting hurt several times. My dad would
always say your heart is your weakness and I find that more true
each day. I believe a true friend should never expect you to do
something for them by asking over and over to do the same thing
that you've already done for them. I also believe a true friend should
listen to you as you have listen to them about their troubles and
life.
The crazy thing is I've listened to a lot of people's troubles about
their life and when I want to speak about mine they go silent. Some even
think I'm trying to compete with them. I have learned to never speak about
my life or problems with people like that again. I may just use this blog
to write about my life and what is bothering me.
But in reality the only friends you ever need is your family your wife and
kids your brothers or sisters etc because they are the ones who truly love
you.
