I have a lot of people who know me, but very, very few people that I consider friends. It probably goes back to that whole trust thing that I've got to work on, but I don't think it's a bad thing to have few people that you consider good friends. Actually, more than good friends; these are people who have seen you in and through some bad shit and are STILL standing next to you. They're the people who you call when you've gotten the best news of your life, or, God forbid, you call them at 3am to pick you up and y'all drive out to the desert. That friend doesn't ask questions, they just remember to put 2 shovels in the trunk of the car.
I can count on one hand that kind of friend. I think if you have more than that, yall as a group have been through some serious, serious stuff together. When I think of these kinds of friends they are the people who:
- I call when I get a promotion/get a new job/quit a job
- show up at my house with a bottle of wine/hard liquor, a hug and sit with me when someone close to me dies.
- I'll tell when I meet 'the one'/get engaged/
- will be in my wedding
- will be the second/third people I'll tell I'm pregnant
- won't blab my business on facebook/twitter or to those outside of the 'family/friend circle' who would.
Friends are very important people to me; they are like a second family. For me to call you friend means a great deal, you've reached a place with me that not many people are able to. I want and wish for you no less that what I want and wish for myself; success and happiness in all that you do. I may push you to do more and ask of you more than anyone has every asked or expected of you but that is because I know that you are more than able to do so. Does it suck? Sometimes. Do I do it cause I don't like you? Never. Will it make you a better person? Of course. Will you be thanking me in the long run? Always. :-)
