I hate friends.
They make me a part of their lives and hardly ever expect anything back. They make me feel small with their generosity. They will comfort me when i am broken and make it seem like it is okay to be vulnerable in front of them. They just simply walk in pick me from pieces and put me back together. I hate being wrong and they come and show me what i did wrong but in a way that gives hope. They share their joys and sorrows with equal zest. They make me feel bad for not being able to share my sorrows with them because i think they shall be burdened. They make me smile and make me burst into laughter, that is good. But I hate it when they make me wanna cry if i am not there in their time of need. On top of that they make me burst into laughter when i am crying! so unglam! Why this brutality?
I do not make a great friend, i just try really really hard to be one. But I know many of my friends have become like my family. That gives me something to be proud of I guess. But what about the kind souls who made my day unknowingly. Do i call them friends? They do make me calm or satisfied or elated even in those brief moments of interactions I have with them. Why can't i keep them as friends? 570 friends on facebook! Is it too much to ask that we make all friends best friends! And who is that ass who said there is no sorry or thank you in friendship. In fact we should be using these two words more often in friendship. Being thankful for your wonderful friends is not rude, it is celebration. How often we go to our friends and say, thanks, you know, for everything! I tell my best friend, "shut up bitch! thanks for being my best friend", he replies "thank you too, fuck off!" Sweetest words ever. ain't it!
So if i screw up again, is it because someone will come and tell me "dude WE are so screwed". So many people hate me, i will take that any day if i know there are a handful who will say "you are better that them!" I am blessed because I found my friends who weren't afraid to get their hands dirty with me. I am also blessed because I found friends who would be close to me everytime they say, "You suck!" or "You are bad!" or "You know i hate you right" :D
So on this friendship day, whoever, is , was or will ever become my friend, i thank you for rescuing me. For pushing me to be better than my fears. For just being you!
I love friends
