A friend is:
- someone you can be your authentic self with
- they will let you go find your own truth
- will pull you back if they feel you've gone too damn far!
- will let you cry, scream, cuss, vent, shoot the sh*t, laugh, yell...and not call the people with the lab coats to come get you.
- will let you borrow money, spend the night, and/or ask no questions, should the need ever arise between you
- you can call them every dirty, rotten name in the book; but let someone else call you or them that: "WHAT?! Lemme talk to you for a sec!!!"
- if you need somebody to get got: won't ask questions, just bring the shovel, bail money, plastic wrap, lawyer, etc....just in case there may BE a misunderstanding!!
- will tell you "um, you gon' wear that?"
- will stay up until the ungodly hours of the night with you if you're in pain
- will come over, climb in the bed with you, eat junk food, and just sit and talk about everything and nothing when the world has gotten to be too much for you to handle
- they make you laugh even when you wanna cry
- will argue with you, tell you off, all in the name of love, and then make plans to go out to do something together
- seen you at your very worst, and still wants to hang around you.
- knows some of the things you don't tell everyone else, and still says to people "THAT'S MY GIRL!!"
- they are your family when your own don't wanna deal with you.
- will tell you you're wrong, but will defend and stand by you when other try to tear you down.
- not only understands you in silly things and ways, will join you on occasion
- do not have to have a reason to pick up the phone and call
- you don't talk every day, or see each other all the time, but when you do: you pick up like it was only yesterday.
- all of the aforementioned things - you would, can, and HAVE done them for your friends!
