What is a true Friend??

[*Bunny*]

I have plenty of acquaintances but few I can call true friends.

This always helped put things in perspective thought I'd post it again, Im sure it's been posted several times somewhere

Reason Season Lifetime

Reason, Season and Lifetime

..

People always come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.

When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.

..

When someone is in your life for a REASON,

it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty,

or to provide you with guidance and support,

to aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually.

They may seem like a godsend to you, and they are.

They are there for the reason you need them to be.

...

Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time,

this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

...

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they just walk away.

Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.

The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.

...

When people come into your life for a SEASON,

it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.

They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.

They may teach you something you have never done.

They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.

Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall,

the season eventually ends.

...

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;

those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway);

and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being part of my life.

I am man enough to admit that for some reason...I got a lump in my throat reading this.


Started thinking about the fellaz that have come and gone for whatever reason.


Called my best friend after reading this. As I age......I am becoming the biggest pussy I know.

A friend will bail you out of jail. A true friend will be standing next to you saying, "DAMN! We fucked up!"

Good post Bunny. I was just wrestling w/ this the other day. I get so tired of most friends I have today. They seem to always let me down. Quite possibly my expectations are too high. But I'll say this, whatever I expect, I would do the very same for my friends. I have little use for "fair weather" friends and those that will take advantage of your friendship in many dif. ways. I seem to attract most of these types. True friends are indeed a rarity and I cherish the couple I have.
Great quote, I like the perspective.
