Friendship

Is there ever a time when everything actually does go right for you, and if there is, does it last very long? Is there any hope out there for us who don't quite have it all? No matter how much thought you put into something, it never goes to plan, or happen in the way you want it to.

Friendship is important. Or so I was always told. Maybe it's how people are brought up, the values of things are different with each individual. For me, friendship was always high up, just under family. 'Friends may come and go, but family will always be there' is what my mum kept telling me, with each little falling out I had with friends years back. I thought I'd grown out of them games. Though it seems I'm not quite as mature as I thought.

Loss of a friendship never gets easy. In fact, for most, it gets harder as you age. The older you are, the more friendship means. It also means more serious issues to fall out over. But what if, what if the reason you fall out is neither childish, nor serious. What if it is simply a difference in opinion, or even just about friendship itself.

Is friendship really that important? Is it not worth salvaging? The best friendships are not always the longest, it's the communication. The best friendships are the ones where there's practically nothing you can't talk about. Where you make each other feel good, look after each other, be each other's rock.. The shoulder to cry on. The best friends are the ones that stand by you no matter what.. Won't have their opinions changed by what they hear, and will be there the minute you need them. That's a true friendship.. And that's something to be valued.

Think about the friendships you have, and the ones you cherish the most. Is anything worth losing a true friend over? Is there anything that can be done to save a friendship, or rebuild? Or is it just destroyed the moment that bond is broken?
