About Friends

I was thinking... How far do we go for friends? Where do we draw the line? Does there even need to be a line? Would you give up something of great importance or value for a close friend? Would you sacrafice your dream to help a friend achieve theirs? Would they give up theirs for you? What happens when that close friend doesn't go the same distance as you? Do you turn back? try to drag them? What happens when they come to expect outrageous loyalty to you but don't show the same in return? I would suppose the answer would be different for everyone as each of us has different levels of trust and expectance in our lifes. Each of us has different levels of friendship in our lives and each of us has different levels of loyalty in our lives. For me, my closest friends know, I will go the distance for them. Champion for them, cheer for them, be a balcony person for them. They also know I expect the same in return. I am fiercely loyal, unyielding in my support, encouragement and such. However, I don't always get along with my closest friends nor do I always agree with them. That's not what friendship is about. We're individuals, we're different. We think differently, we act differently, we speak differently. We're awesome! WE make great teams. But we're still TWO people, two individual people. I am glad they know that. I'm glad they know they can count on me (and me on them). To all my close friend..thank you for being in my life.
