So I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about certain things in my life. The one thing that I never have to waiver on is my closest friends. Friendship has been my one true life savers these past 5 years. So, I wanted to divulge on what I think a true friend is to me.
True friendship is not when you go to school and hang around with someone just because you have no one else to chill with. It's not calling someone up when you're bored because they are fun to talk to. It's not when you can't think of a birthday gift and end up buying your friend a wal-mart gift card. It's not when you have to talk to someone about something you don't particulary care about (like how much rain we got last year) to avoid an awkward silence. Friendship is not a thing we should take for granted.
Friendship is when you love someone with every ounce of your being and genuinely want them to be happy even if it means sacrificing something yourself to make them happy. A true friend is someone you can talk to about your feelings, someone you can tell things you could never tell your family or even your partner. They are someone who you don't have to talk to but someone you "want" to talk to; someone you will go out of your way to be with.
Friendship is when you love someone so much you want to hold them and never let go, someone you want to rest your head on and cry, and you would let them cry on you too. It's someone you can talk to about things you disagree on and end up being closer for that disagreement. It's when you think about someone and how close you are to them and how much you love them. It's the smile that brings happiness into your life.
Friendship is not about who left but who stays with you and weathers each and every storm. Friendship requires loyalty, truth and complete understanding. It involves communication when you don't understand something. One might come across numerous friends in this life time but there are very few who will be there during your ups as well as stand by you when you are down. A true friend is one who will understand your strengths and shortcomings and would be with you no matter what. True friends put aside pride and hurt feelings, and just care enough to save the friendship.

Sarah I absolutely love this and agree with this. You are this to me. You have accepted all of my flaws and short comings (like not driving right now) along with my good. I am so glad and grateful Heavenly Father put you in my life. We share the exact same view on friendship and I love it. I'm always here for you! Love you Behms!
So its been a wile since ive read this But I now understand it mich more. At first it sounded like you were talking about your husband or partner and it threw me. Now i see that you are talking about your partner/s because when you are a true friend you are apart of a commited relationship. I knew this but lost sight of it till you. No matter what you have always been there for me and excepted me even with all my faults. You are tue example of a true friend and I am greatful for having you in my life.
