That is not a testament to my elite status but to yours. I have no trouble cutting people out of my life if they haven't earned the spot in it. I don't have time for "fake" or "selfish".
I am thankful to call quite a few people true friends. I won't call them out by name, but you know who you are.
I can be my true self with you... crazy, irrational, vulnerable.
We laugh. A lot.
We don't take life too seriously.
If one of us every needs anything, it isn't even a question. It is a "how can I help" or sometimes even a, "bitch you will take my help regardless of how you feel about it."
These types of friendships are two-way.
You see, there are several more people I can add to the list that I would give them the shirt off of my back or my last morsel of food if they needed it, but I know I wouldn't get the same in return. That doesn't change my actions towards them. And I don't fault them for it.
But it makes me appreciate those true friends even more. The street runs both ways and we both frequent each side. Blood relation or not, we are family.
To each of you I can truly call my friend, I thank you.
I am the same way! I take my friendships very seriously and it takes me some time before I call someone a friend.
ReplyDeleteObviously great post... since we are on the same page today!!!
ReplyDeleteHand raised to "Bitch you will take my help regardless" - real and true friends are few and far between but they are so valuable and worth the efforts.
