A friend is someone who has a “special connection” with you and isn’t afraid to share it out loud; not to the whole world, but to that friend.
A friend is a giver, and not just to the friend, but to any number of
people (this makes you love that friend even more).
A friend will tell you the truth.
A friend encourages your creativity and congratulates out loud; not to make a show, but to bless.
Sometimes a friend is so much
like their friend that it’s
like another wonder of the world.
Examples:
-Doesn’t like to talk on the phone
-Their favorite
book trilogy is the same
one you’
ve read three times
-Sometimes (maybe often) they can be too hard on themselves (
like their friend who’s like them)
-Yes, they too had a paper route when they were 12 AND detasseled corn (in a totally deferent state)
-Reads a
book you recommend and loves it…then reads another friend-recommended
book and doesn’t like it…and tells you.
Both are priceless.
-A friend will do the work that no
one else even thinks to do (even when they are busy) to honor a friend’s creativity.
That’s at least a small part of what a friend is. I
hope that I am as good a friend as this.
I have a friend like this.
P.S…A friend may not think they are good or kind or brave or giving or strong, but they are.
