this one's about my belief of what friendship is. I am not just repeating something someone else said. (even if i do say some of the same things :p)
Jesus once said that a True Friend sticks closer to you than a brother. This is very true in my opinion. When i lived in Maryland i had a core group of friends that were closer to me than family, but my best friend was with me through everything. He was there when i needed to get out of the house, it was like he knew and just showed up. "Wassup, joel, i'm outside your house, let's go chill"
I was also there for him through everything he had to put up with. Now that i'm living in california, i can't physically be with him, but i still call him and stuff. but i'm starting to get off topic
A friend is someone who gives without measure and expects nothing in return. He's someone who's always there, no matter what's going on. A friend will listen to your troubles without losing interest and he'll be there to bail you out when you're in too deep.
He will also be the first to let you know if you've been in the wrong, but without passing judgement or condescention.
A True Friend has complete confidence and trust in you. He'll keep your secrets and expects you to do the same. When you're about to do something really stupid he will be there to stop you, or be the one doing the stupid thing as well. It's like someone said, a friend will bail you out, but a true friend will be sitting next to you in the cell. He will never betray you, or manipulate you for his own ends. If you need advice he'll be right there giving it to you. His is the shoulder you can come to cry on.
let me know what you guys think
