What is friend?

March 26, 2012 9:11am CST
We all have a friend. It's easy to discuss or it's easy to have a meaning. But what is friend real meaning for you? 1. Friend is just for fun 2. Friend is just for financial difficulties 3. Friend is just for shoulder to cry on 4. Friend is just for laughter 5. Friend is just for brotherhood or sisterhood 6. Friend is like a sister or a brother 7. Friend is just for sadness day 8. Friend is like a weather , it depends on what season it is 9. Friend is where you can say Yes & No, Maybe or I think 10. Friend is all the above.... What ever is the meaning of friend. As long as we know how to handle them. we could treasure them with all our open mind & heart. I love my friends to much, I hurt them sometimes or all time but i say sorry. They also the same. But real friend is not easy to find. It's hard to say who is really our real friend. So guys with or without friend. Life must go on.

You mentioned all of them already! :-) Well, a friend or I'd rather say a "true friend" to me is someone who sits patiently beside me and loves to listen to my random speeches even I'm being boring. He/she listens to every problem and shows love to me like a mother/father. Having a true friend/best friend is one of the world's nicest feeling which not all of us finds one, right? In my history, we we're used to transfer from one address to another(city to city)thus making me have a hard time adjusting to the environment. When we moved, means I have to leave my bestfriend and find a new one. Luckily, in my childhood and teenage years, everytime we move, I easily adjust after 1-2 years, and I'm lucky to say I am one of those kids who's never left behind without friends, because I always do have circle of friends, and most of all a "bestfriend" whom I trusted. I am very thankful to that. When I reached college, I had the hardest time of my life adjusting with the new environment. This time, I had no much friends than before. I regretted everything, and blamed my parents for separating me from home, but I couldn't do anything more because it had happened already. I realize, college was a different thing; it's not about friendship, but about being mature, alone, and strong. This was my first time to have not much a circle of friends, there are some but just casual ( no much emotions/secrets attached) and few are only true to me. In the end, I realized I most needed friends way back then when I was younger and I was so happy looking back that I had many. I faced a lot of teenage challenges like gossips, bad girls, flirting boyfriends, 3rd-parties. During those times, I was with these wonderful people ( who are still my bestfriends up to now - but we keep in touch just some time) who helped me overcome them all. They were my shield and my armor. They pampered me like a spoiled child. I loved them of every strand of their hair, every laugh they make, their smile, everything they say. Actually, if there's one point of my life I would like to stay, it's teenage years. Though those years I faced a lot of troubles, I could say I'd still want to stay there because of the happiness I felt that time with them. It was irreplaceable. I knew college was to be like this, and I predicted it would be lonesome for me. But that's how life's gonna be, it's up to you whether you make much friends or not. It's okay, I still have chances of making new ones as I enter another new life after college life. :-) (Lol, sorry for posting this too long. I just love to reminisce my past life. hihi. PS, i love your avatar! I love hellokitties! :D )

A true friend is one who will tell you when you are wrong. One who is always there for you especially in hard times. They say no man is an island and this is true. In the end one needs friends. It’s much harder without friends.

For me, friend is an extension of yourself. You can't live all by yourself but with someone who really cares and loves you unconditionally.

For me, its hard to find a real friend.. In my college life.I have find a lot of friends but 5 of them left when we finish our schooling.Some says, there are friends that they will approach you when they will need you, financially and emotionally and what so ever. But treasure your real friends when you find them, believe me.!

Basically what is most common about frens (true frens) is that they always help u out...and u know what i am talking about.... And ya..rightly said : True frens are hard to find...

Friends are just awesome. I love my friends. They mean so much to me. Yesterday I was at an event and was able to make new friends who were so encouraging to me. Friends are individuals who are there for you and who have your genuine interest at heart. They don't hold back from telling you the truth when they know that you may be going in the wrong direction or making the wrong decision. I know that there are a lot of things that have been going on in my life and I'm trying to deal with it the best way that I can. It has been so helpful to have friends that I know are supportive of me in my efforts.

It is soo hard to find a real friend. So if you think s/he is the one, treasure it and take good care of it. Friend for me is the one that accept me for who I am, giving me advice and not judging me (well I think judging is normal but hehe - not to the point that s/he is blaming and criticizing me for everything.) Always there to listen to all my whining and concerns, giving me reason to be happy when everything is sad and down. etc!

someone: who I can trust, who doesn't give me fake smile, who respect me the same way I respect them, who tell me when I make mistake, who support me and who accept me for who I am.

Friends to me are those who can tell me in face what I did wrong, what are their opinions in things that I do, those who have the heart to hurt me and comfort me after, friends are like my siblings to whom I care very much like if they are into trouble I am already in trouble as well, if they cry they know that they have a shoulder to cry on, friends are those who really stay despite and in spite of the differences you have. I only have a few because I have a high regard to those whom I called friends, like my only sister (biological), husband, and a few others that I cherish so much even if we do not talk so much we know in our hearts that we care for each other.

A good friend is somebody you really trust and count on . It takes maybe 20 years with all ups and downs until you really know somebody . Real friendship is better and more close then love .
