just who is a true friend?
and, when can one’s friendship with another can be defined as true?
is there even such a term as true friendship?
my mother always told me, there is no such thing as a true friend. However, I have always been adamant, believing that true friendship does exist. Though, I have had friends who I believe to be my true friends, hurt or betray or backstab me, I still believe in my notion, that true friendship exists.
I am not gullible or stupid. I have experienced it. When I found out about a certain betrayal, a certain hurt. People I least thought would be there for me have comforted me. And this is beautiful. This is friendship. I cannot blame squarely on the fact that there is no true friendship when I have been a bad judge of character.
Call me naive or gullible. I believe in true friendship for I have one or two around me who are just that. I do not need a clubroom full of friends. I just need one or two who will be there for me. I am happy.
So, how come I have seen your friendship for them faltering? I know I am a bad judge of character at times.
But I believe truly in what I see. And what I see is not what I thought of you. [ If you feel friendship should not have expectations, then kindly re-think about that statement. For I see too much expectations from you on how you expect your friends to be.]
Not since I have known you for some time now. I do not know if you realize this, but if you really believe in friendship and believe that all should be well, you should not and will not be behaving so nonchantantly about all issues. For you are not only affecting yourself but them too. Do they deserve to see their work being affected because of you?You are a smart and bright girl, one who is hardworking and always-on top of your game.
That is not what I see now. And I am saying this from an external point of view. If this is so blatantly visible to me, can you imagine how much these girls have been taking in and been yet, so tolerant? AND quiet? And nice enough to actually let you do what you want to do and yet not mark you down.You do not have to be all hoo-ha and hail them for the amount of giving-in they are doing. Just show abit more commitment.
Come on girl, think about it. who has been there for you all this while? are you going to give it up all for people and things that have just come your way recently? I am not saying, give up your newly acquired interest. just make sure you balance both.
is that so much to ask for?I am not trying to blame you squarely for anything. I am merely requesting that you think about what has been going on this whole time.
For our poly life is ending. And nobody wants to lose friendships.
You are too dear for us to lose you.
