The Meaning of Friendship
As we grow up, we realize it becomes less important to have a ton of friends, and more important to have real ones. A strong and real friendship doesn't need daily conversation, doesn't always need togetherness, as long as the relationship lives in the heart then true friends will always be by each others side.
They say that sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down. In the past, I have been a strong builder of those walls and I didn't want to get close to anyone because I didn't want them to know the real me or become close to me in any way. I've always seen myself as broken. Too imperfect to be loved, liked, or be a friend of someone for too long. But recently, I've discovered several true friends that will always mean the world to me.
A true friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flowers in your garden. I'm not a perfect person, I make a lot of mistakes, but still....I love those people who stay with me after knowing how I really am. Friends are family. Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what. So notice the people who are happy for your happiness and sad for your sadness. They're the ones who deserve special places in your heart.
You know someone is special to you when you don't talk for a while because things get busy but when you two eventually do it's like you didn't miss a beat. You talk like there was no gap in between and you laugh until both your stomachs hurt. It's a rare and special connection and personally...I think it's pure magic because friendship is weird. You pick a human you've met and you're like, "YEP! I like this one!" and you just do stuff with them. If you ever find someone like this in your life, never let them go! Invest in the people who invest in you.
