True Friends

True friends. Always there for you. Always understanding. Always forgiving. Am I wrong?

There always comes a point in your life, where you go through changes. Changes that can alter one's life forever. Changes in which you need the support of those that care for you, of those that value you to some extent.

Unfortunately, not everyone is as caring and as true as they seem to be. Oh, yes, indeed they are real to themselves, but are not true friends to you. They may see your time of need, a time you seek their help as a time to bash you, your situation, or your personal business. They may use your own emotions in order to manipulate your mind. Make you feel as though you're a villan, make you feel guilty more so than you already feel.

I true friend isn't one that will be sensitive to the little things: A bad hair day, an "off" comment, and small insult, or a little accident. A true friend won't turn their backs on you, regardless of what you may say or do.A true friend will help you through good times and bad. Be there through your triumphs and your losses. A true friend will stand with open arms; always willing to give advice, and wipe away the tears.

Maybe its just me, or maybe there aren't really many true friends left in the world. Maybe as humans, we're so easily brain washed to believe that someone does care, when they really dont.

Why is it that people decide to waste their time and yours, and say they care, but when it comes time to be sensitive to an issue, they shut you down. Make you feel cheap. Make you feel guilty. Make you feel unclean.

I guess its all part of life. People come, and people go. Yea, some friendships do more harm, while others will last a lifetime. These are your true friends.
