The friendships have been tested and every time we all have passed the test. We laugh, cry, rejoice,fight and curse each other out. In the end we have each others back, we love each other and there is a bond that no once can break.THE PISCEANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691441706889994159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13155851.post-16574038912534917352007-06-11T13:34:00.000-04:002007-06-11T13:34:00.000-04:00I love this post because I use a level system.

I'm like...hey, I just know you and we rarely speak to each other...no phone calls, no hanging out, no anything...sorry, that's not my definition of a friend.Darius T.

I love this topic just because an acquaintance called me today and told me about her church service and how the preacher spoke about friends and acquaintances and how you should only have a few true friends in your life meaning no more than 3 and with your friends you should be able to have something in common and they should bring something into your life just as you would their life. So it made me think about how many people I do call friend and how they really don't bring anything in my life, so in saying that I need to sit back and look at who I have around me and what do they really mean to me in my life are they helping or hurting me? So as I take out my pen and paper, make my list I notice that I have more acquaintances then I do friends ummmmmmmmm makes me think!!!!!

I had to learn the hard way that you can't trust everybody with your soul, and the few people that do honor and nurture your body, mind, and soul (your TRUE friends) should be CHERISHED, and PROTECTED. <BR/><BR/>True friends affirm who you are at the core. A true friend knows you fundamentally and will check you if you start trippin. A true friend is deeply invested and entrenched in your life because they've worked hard on it and you want them there. A true friend would never take advantage of your weaknesses and shortcomings because their purpose is to strengthen and restore you. Hmm.....<BR/><BR/>Thanks for conjuring up a few thoughts....love the blog BTW!dancehardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930135690054173878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13155851.post-60115332214912970802007-06-09T19:06:00.000-04:002007-06-09T19:06:00.000-04:00I'm VERY guarded with the word friend and admonish...I'm VERY guarded with the word friend and admonish everyone to do the same. Not every acquaintance earns friendship status in my book. Honestly, I'm not opposed to reevaluating people's friendship status and demoting them back to acquaintanceship if deemed necessary.<BR/><BR/>I apologize if that sounds pretentious at all, but I really believe very strongly in appropriately labeling people in my life. <BR/><BR/>In times of need most of the people we think are our friends will show that they are simply people we encounter on a daily basis. Often times friendships are masked by relationships of convenience.Mr. Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231406990703923642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13155851.post-41538982675256888282007-06-09T17:48:00.000-04:002007-06-09T17:48:00.000-04:00i agree with u and cocoa... some people think they...i agree with u and cocoa... some people think they are more important than what they really are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13155851.post-44222535584793810862007-06-09T02:06:00.000-04:002007-06-09T02:06:00.000-04:00I agree...

Unfortunately, I tend to be so entrenched in my acquaintances lives (advice, trusted ear, supportive, etc.) that they tend to think that I am a very close friend and accordingly, expect more from me. It's hard because as assertive and "aggressive" as I've been called, I am very aware of folks feelings and don't feel the need to break-them-back to let them know they don't mean as much. I think sometimes we may UNDERestimate what we mean to folks and that can be just as bad as overestimating. It's a testament to how we make people feel when we find we mean so much to them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10988868216271744389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13155851.post-83938653218116346862007-06-08T15:30:00.000-04:002007-06-08T15:30:00.000-04:00damnit im a friend...
