Sunday. I’m truly disappointed. Pissed off. Fuming. Is there ONE meaning of friendship or there are more? Could it be that what friendship means to me, it’s not the same for other people? Would you call someone a friend when you don’t consider them one?
Let’s see… what does friendship mean?
Writing about it it’s much harder than what I expected. I’m not sure if it’s because of all the emotions I feel right now or if it’s a difficult subject.
I feel so overwhelmed. I can only think of: “A real friend wouldn’t say something like that” “A true friend would stand by my side” “A good friend would respect my wishes”. Because I know how I feel about my friends I can’t even process some things done in the name of friendship.

A friendship is a relationship. It goes both ways, you give and you receive. It’s a perfect balance.
But what happens when only one of the “friends” gives and the other friend only receives? Is that also considered friendship?
And if the friend who always gives gets tired of giving and the friend who always receives gets mad because he’s not receiving as much as he was used to, what’s the name for that? I doubt that’s called friendship.

A real friend would be happy if I’m happy. A real friend would stand by me, laugh with me, give me a hand if I fall, trust me, be my tissue if I need to cry, lend me a shoulder to lean on, hug me without me asking and never be mad at me for saying no because a true friend would respect my decisions. So there! Can you be called ‘my friend’?
