Friends

Friends are great things to have. They can pick you up when you're down. A good friend is someone who is always there for you no matter what. They're the person you call a midnight because you have to talk about something, and they always answer. Regardless of what is going on with them, they will drop it all to help you. And if you're a good friend, you will do the same for them. But there are also bad friends. The friends who mooch off of what you do. Those friends are the ones who are never there for you, but as soon as they need something they come running to you. You don't like that they do what they do, but everytime you try to separate from them, they guilt trip you into staying friends. It's a vicious cycle. There is an Egyptian proverb that says this about friendship, "Friendship doubles joy and halves grief." That summarizes a good friendship. If it's a good relationship will bring you joy and when you have grief, that friend will help you back to joy. And that is a good thing to have. So today I challenge you to go out and find a friend, the person who will always have your back, your wingman if you will. And never let them go, a good friend is something that is hard to find and easy to keep, so find it, keep it, and never take it for granted.
