Friendship is perhaps the most valuable thing that there is, no man,,, or woman is meant to be an island, we are not meant to be alone, some stand taller in that situation than others and some mask it too well. I have always been classed as a loner, was that way young and can amuse myself without others, but have too the craving for others, or more, that special one,
that one shares and trusts, the price of friendship, is to expose, to open, that’s not easy for some and even I have subjects I find hard to breach, to lay ones self bare and be vulnerable, is not easy, that’s where one has to have trust, it can sometimes be wrongly given and can take years to build but be destroyed in a nano second.
We have to be careful of those we trust, choose them wisely, but we too must guard the secrets of others better than our own, our own mistakes are ours to live and come to terms with, but the secrets of others the’re placed in our care, that truly is trust.
A friendship like a relationship inevitably means highs and lows, and normally love of different types and pain, one feels for ones friends and shares their emotions, but the feeling of bonding and sharing enhances us, even if it be a group of too, the mutual understanding strengthening,
the knowing that someone is there a reinforcement to our situation, a friendship well placed will be an investment for life. I have friends, I have acquaintances, I notice the difference, better 2 good friends that a thousand acquaintances. I have received trusts which I hope never to break, stories that touch me and want me to defend the people I hear hurt or betrayed, the evil that is around us can indeed be strong, but friendship in the right hands can slay it, or the demons it leaves behind. I welcome new friendship and will help carry your baggage, and you too mine,
a problem shared, may not be remedied, but the support is there.
I greet you my friends and hold you close, hope never to fail you, but accept my failings.
Take care how you go, but remember the time, when our friendship was strongest and the time we shared, to the future I look, for it is brighter with you in it, for that I thank you.
