Friendship Part One

Updated: Nov 10, 2019

Friendship is about trust and truth There is a balance you need to have in order to keep it strong as in the beginning. Keeping your word is what hurts a friendshi it weakens it. Friendship is about seeing the balance. Trust and and truths. The difference between the two is I trust you to be honest. I trust you with my friendship which you keep earning. Friendship can be lost with a single dishonest moment or an untrustworthy example which I can no longer be a part of. Over time it can repaired but that bond which was so strong was weakened. You hold yourself to a higher standard and the expectation and those around in your close circle. That standard and morale compass is yours, you observe others, not judge. The eyes see, the words other speak and how they choose to first talk to you. This is the first impression, but should you act any differently than you do with any other time. Friendships stand a true test when you notice the person is same. The attraction is not something you can put into words. Your drawn to them, more and more. But then we break down in our communication and our friendships suffer. You can please everyone, but you can lose some of your best friends along the way by trying to get into everything. However, some say that’s growing. Your place in a person heart, day and telling them first, which held a larger part is smaller. Your place in their life, is now them trying to make time. As your life grows so does your circle of friends. But how many of them stay with you as you change. How many of your friendship last as you fail. As a friend you watch failure with a sad heart. But don’t do the I told you so, true friends just sit quietly and offer a hug at the right moment. You watch your friends then grow and gain wisdom. Friendship, trust and truth.

Truth to say I’m sorry, I broke my word. I honestly didn’t want to listen to a friend or become closer to them, until the first time they said I’m sorry. Then friendship grew because they had the heart and truth to understand they hurt me and could see it. They could see out side being selfish and their want, friendship was important to them. On most occasions friends are overcome with their own needs they break their word. I’m sorry is a truthful observation, that you know your friend still wants you around. Our faith in friendship strong and powerful. I wanted to walk away many times from you my friend. But I stop and think, is it worth the effort to stay here in this place with them. They disrespect me by telling me one thing and not following up on their words. You were once the friendship that knew all the secrets about each other. Now, your getting table scraps or leftovers from the remnants of your once best friend day. We grieve the loss of our friendships. The emotional void that was filled by a friend. The laughter, the sadness, the sharing of opinions in the decision on your next move in life. Trust your life to this friendship it’s not to be taken lightly. The truthfulness of their words would have an impact on your next decisions. If you owe an I’m sorry, say it don’t run from it. Friendship is a priority, then you lose your ranking as time passes. It’s a life changing process, there’s that word a process. But, some people are more passionate and emotionally invested in their friendships, they wear it openly. Others are quiet, when the sunsets, they can forget and move on. There is a happiness to having opposite attract. This is true in friendships, trust and truth. Respect, appreciate them, have opinions opposing each other but still have that bond
