Friends

"Friends are hard to come by"

...thats what my Mammy always says...I used to just laugh at her!...but now I see that she's right...but don't tell her I said that!

In my opinion a true friend is one who:
picks you up (physically or emotionally),

puts up with your fowl moods and tantrums (because they know your under an incredible amount of stress and that they would be ten times worse in your position),

bitches about family members and friends (all the while knowing that you love them to bits),

is always at the other end of the phone when you need a chat,

always laughs at the silly tings you do,

and lastly helps you through the toughest most challenging times of your life.

I have been lucky enough to meet five such people...so far...and I count myself lucky to have done so (as many others wander through life without making any true friendships). Without the great friendships I have built over the last eighteen years...I would not be the person I am today. Friends give you confidence,support and a sense of belonging and so much more aswell. This blog is not based on any factual information I have discovered through the use of the internet, library etc...but instead is based on my own understanding of a friends importance in someones life. I truely believe that friendships are the most important bonds you will ever make and this is why you should maintain them and watch them flourish!!!
