Food for thought

Throughout my years I have had many friends. Some have stayed, some have gone but at the end of the day the people who have made the effort to want to stay in my life, I contribute the same in return. In present day I have met people who I saw potential in life long friends and if you know me, you know that I am completely selfless when it comes to people I care about. I do anything and do everything I can to show you I care. I am very affectionate and giving. In the past few years I have met many people none of which I can say are “permanent friends”, only acquaintances with the exception of maybe two, barely even three. I have analyzed and witnessed many people, given the benefit of the doubt to more than I can count and most of them have let me down. I guess the reason for this post is for the fact that in one friend in-particular I have seen so many qualities that I wish more people possessed, maturity, honesty no matter how brutal it may be,common courtesy, understanding, patience,loyalty,positivity,strength and SO MANY more. It’s very rare to find people who posses such great characteristics and offer a friendship that you know will never leave you. Let alone someone who appreciates you no matter what. I never have to doubt that this person would talk behind my back because whatever they have to say they tell me to my face. They give me the harsh reality of what is and what isn’t and most of all they have taught me so much about what a friend should be. 

Just reflecting on the past & current situations of people I call “friends” and it makes me so appreciative of the people I chose to keep in my life and those I have let go of. People I thought I knew and didn’t. Everything always comes to the surface regardless some sooner than later. I am thankful for the ones nearest and dearest to my heart. Thank you :D
